In a wistful attempt to relive our Spring Break days, four of us wrapped things up at work last week (mostly), got up early (kind of) and headed East for the Sellkirks. I was responsible (lame) and went to work Friday morning, so Danny and I didn’t get on the road until mid-day. I think Sandpoint is the furthest east Danny has ever been, so this was a big trip for at least one of us.
We made it over the first pass (where conditions at Summit looked measely) and things were off to a good start - old school beats pumping, beautiful Ellensberg scenery rolling by, gray skies fading away behind us - until the all too familiar sight of flashing lights appeared in the rear view. I didn’t notice them until they were pretty close behind since we were borrowing Patrick’s iced-out bromobile and the windows are tinted so dark I have a hard time seeing whatever’s on the other side. I pulled it over.
