Need snow!

Ok, seriously people, this whole summer in January thing has got to stop! We went to Kirkwood on Saturday and were all snowboarding without coats. Heck yes it was awesome and the snow wasn't even icy from melting but that's besides the point! We need more snow! For two reasons: #1: I need some darned powder to surf through!!! and #2: I don't...repeat DON'T want to have to ration water and be all stressed about a drout. Drouts suck.

Crazy story: So as we are leaving Kirkwood Saturday (like 50 degrees all day I kid you not) and it has just started to get pretty nippy outside so it was perfect timing to leave. We're driving along and about two miles down the road some guy is frantically telling us to slow down! So Matt (driver) presses on the break to start slowing down and we start skidding a little. Thank Goodness for ABS. So we slow WAY down and low and behold there is a car right after the bend flipped over. So we pull over and I fully expect to have to bust out the first aid training...so Luke and i get out and run up to the car yelling is everyone ok? and the two ladies had gotten out unscathed... CRAZY! Not a scratch on them. It was just a little late 90's model Nissan. *Note: Buy a Nissan for next car.

So we get back in the car, because someone had already gone for help, and start driving and immediately have to pull over again. The adrenaline from seeing the car had caused Luke's migraine to go full blown and he had to Yak. So sad. We had to pull over two more times so he could heave on the side of the road. Poor guy.....

Quite the adventure Saturday was....I need to start carrying my dang camera!

Luke Smith? I miss Lukey. We saw something similar about 10 years ago in logan. Wind had blown a bunch of snow on the road and we saw a car come down the hill at 70 MPH and flip over as soon as it hit the snow. So scary. Luckily we had 3 trained emt's with us. The girls in the car only had a few scratches. Not anything too bad.
