• To Denver with a Detour to Portland

    January 13, 2020 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 39 °F

    Seattle is experiencing an epic snow storm. Russ's original flight out of SeaTac was cancelled. Russ quickly booked a flight from Everett. It was cancelled about an hour later. Russ then booked his third flight from Portland to Denver. This flight was not cancelled. The only problem was that Russ has to drive to Portland at 9 pm, stay in a hotel, park his car in long term parking and fly out the next morning.

    Russ arrived prior to Bud's flight and they met up at Denver airport. Russ now has to figure out how he is going to retrieve his car parked in Portland when his return flight is Seattle.

    Meanwhile, Dave is driving from Boise to Dillon, CO in the same snow storm. He left at 530 in the morning and didn't arrive until 12 hours later. In route, he encountered snow, ice, and a bunch of cars off the road on Vail pass.

    Bud's flight was uneventful.
