I started the day, after sleeping in the car from Twin Falls in Idaho, and waking up in Jackson, Wyoming. It was 6am and we were outside a McDonalds, where we had stopped for breakfast. I had heard that it was an unpleasant drive due to blizzardy conditions, low visibility, a lot of ice and also because it was dark. We drove from Jackson, a very small town in Wyoming, with snow covered roads and mountains. We decided to drive towards Yellowstone National Park.

I also managed to arrange my immigration forms to allow me to leave the country to Canada. We drove passed one of California's tallest mountains, Mt Shashta and also crossed by Portland too. Since we were behind schedule, we decided it would be a wise idea to continue to drive on to Seattle. We covered around 800 miles in 15 hours and arrived in Seattle at 3.30pm. ... read more
