We started out on Thursday, June 19th heading towards California for vacation. Lindsey came along to experience California and help with the driving (thank you Lindz!) We didn't leave until the afternoon and our goal was to make it to Jackpot Nevada on the 1st day. Generally not a problem, but following the GPS directions...it had us detour due to road construction (that we had already sat stopped in for over 20 minutes) onto a smaller road, which turned to an "all weather road", then a DIRT road, and finally to a road with 2 seperate postings claiming it is not maintained for "passenger vehicles"...hmmm?!! After travelling over 20 miles on this bumpy, dirt road was i supposed to turn around? We decided to move ahead anyway, whats the worst that could happen? The GPS must know what it is doing! HA! This gorgeous pic was taken nearing the end of our journey, as we descended the dirt trail hardly large enough for 1 car, with no guard rail mind you...into an awesome valley that eventually dumped us out into Sun Valley/Ketchum Idaho and the beautiful ski resort area there. Then some bumper to bumper traffic for nearly an hour and then we hit our destination at dinner time. Yummy mexican food at the restaraunt there in Jackpot, and continued our travels the next day all the way through Nevada - again Kudos to Lindsey who drove that stretch! And from Reno to Ripon we went for a couple of days w/Karen.

Yeah, I'd say that was a trial, not a road! Glad you survived and that it worked out just fine.
