This was first published February 23, 2014. I still remember this day because I was not a happy camper! Driving on nasty roads is not my idea of fun and it wasn’t!
It was one of these days.
If the roads are nasty, then we’re probably headed somewhere… Today it was Cody, where our pickup had an appointment for early tomorrow morning. I would have delayed the trip, but in 5 days or so, our heifers will really be calving, and getting time to drive that far, just doesn’t happen!
So, reluctantly, I drove the Durango and Vernon the pickup to Cody. Immediately after dropping off the pickup, I handed the Durango’s keys to Vernon. I’d had quite enough! Flat light and unplowed roads are not my idea of fun! They were snow packed, not slick, but I did stop once and kick all the snow and ice from my wheelwells. They were packed full, and grinding on each little bump!
We didn’t spend much time there before heading home, and thankfully, the light had changed, and some of the roads had completely melted. If you’ve never driven in flat light, just think of it as driving through fog, where details are blurred and depth perception is absent! I’m glad it’s over, and I can return to my hermit lifestyle!
Find me here!
Sounds treacherous. I’ve never heard of “flat light” before. It sounds difficult and nerve-wracking to negotiate in, especially on rural roads.
And with snow to complicate it all. Always a relief to be home.
