Road trips always hold a fascination for me. I love the adventure of hitting the open road. It is always interesting. Last winter my husband Larry and I loaded up the Subaru until it was overfilled with luggage, the dog and gifts and set out for the Midwest. We had grand beautiful weather through Montana. So nice that it was easy to forget it was mid December. We drove on to Chamberlain, where we found a hotel. Just as we were pulling into the hotel, it started with a freezing rain. So slippery that we couldn’t walk very well on the sidewalks, to go and get some supper at the local Subway. Country music was playing and many of the big semi trucks were rumbling in and parking for the evening by the hotel. We were just glad that for once we had sense to stop early for the evening, as the evening weather forecasts were giving warnings of black ice and slippery conditions. Sleeping in for the morning, Larry and I had breakfast and got on the road. Now it is a long drive to Minnesota and
