Blizzard in the Cascades and we end up trapped in Ritzville, WA oh my GOD! (sounds of banjo from deliverance.. bananana na nouw) its like hillbilly’s in the snow. We turn on 520 AM for road conditions, according to the sign, and all we here is this very weird track looping over and

over. Nothing about weather just this creepy message click play on audio I get the heebie jeebies just thinking about it. Then some bizzaro reference to some event in the 60s followed by a station identifier over and over again. I tell you we locked the doors and my wife made me turn around and back out of the 1st exit to Ritzville.
We come to the second exit and found a LaQuinta that said they had wifi but the 60 MPH gusts of wind took it offline. HELP I have now determined that Internet connectivity is one of my basic necessities. I would go with out food for the night if I could just get some connectivity. Trying to determine if the road through the mountains in Idaho are closed but all we are catching on the news is the blizzard in the cascades, avalanches, 1-2 feet of snow, 70 MPH winds damn! We finally got the baby to sleep thank god after his first ever extended road trip. Stopping every two hours or so sure does make this a slow go but it is so cool to experience the world with the little one in my arms. So tomorrow the million dollar question is do we need chains to cross the pass? If we do we turn around and head back home vacation adventure to be continued….
