Day 10: The Road Trip Plot Twist We Didn't See Coming
What was supposed to be a simple 6-hour drive turned into a full-blown 14-hour odyssey yesterday. 🚐💨
Apparently, I-80 gets some serious wind—so much so that they actually closed the road to pulling vehicles and campers under 20,000 lbs. Guess who didn’t know that was a thing? Yep, us. 😅
We ended up stuck in Rock Springs, WY for about 6 hours, baking in 95° heat and trying to kill time without losing our sanity. 🥵🌵
The winds finally died down around 9 p.m., so we hit the road again and rolled into our new campsite at 2 a.m. after a long, dark stretch of driving. To say I was “a bit grumpy” might be the understatement of the century. 😤💤
But—we made it! We’re now all set up at our new “home” (for however long that turns out to be). Welcome to the joys of this lifestyle: unpredictable, exhausting, and somehow still worth it. 🏕️💛
