We've had our trip planned out and reserved for a few weeks and we've been pretty excited about it. However, since we're driving pretty far north during winter, we knew that weather could be an issue. Even though the weather along our route has looked pretty good for the past few weeks, unfortunately it looks like a winter storm is going to move into Lake Tahoe right before we were planning to get there. So, while I don't know how much snow will accumulate or whether road conditions will be that bad, we decided to alter our route. While we were really looking forward to seeing Lake Tahoe, we figured that it would be better not to risk driving through bad road conditions and getting delayed or sliding off the road. So, I've already canceled our hotel and booked another one farther west. This new route won't take much longer and it shouldn't be as risky, so I'm glad I was able to take care of that. I'm ready to get on the road.
