Driving to Anchorage looks like this... Don't you wish you could drive in these conditions??? It's the main highway to get to the rest of the state!!! WOW!
what a weekend!!!
Our football team made it to the playoffs and we had to drive to Anchorage to cheer. We rented 2 sprinter vans and put 6 girls in each van (plus 2 coaches driving). We left Friday morning at 7am, and 8 hours later arrived at the game... It should only be a 5 hour drive...
This picture is what the roads were like for 150 + miles... CRAZY!
I will never drive a van, teenage girls, and weather like this again!!!
We had 70 mph winds, crazy snow and really slick roads! Everyone was off the road ahead of us(including our Principal and athletics director) We made it safe and sound though.
I was really worried!!!
We got to the game and cheered our hearts out, but it just wasn't enough... Our boys lost 26-12... It was pretty gloomy the rest of the night.
We got up Saturday morning and went to eat. It's funny how much you take things for granted... We were all dieing for Ihop!!! We don't have an Ihop in Fairbanks, so whenever you go to Anchorage, you have to go there for Breakfast!!!
Then we had to get on the road for the trip home all over again! But this time the roads were a lot better! The snow had turned to rain and melted a lot of the roads. There were still a few rough spots, but we made it back no problems!!!
What a weekend!
