Day One: Snow

Finally on the road, and it looks like both of us got off to snowy starts. I had high expectations out this morning pretty early, and eastbound out of SF in the morning doesn’t get much traffic. Unfortunately though, the morning was very cold downpour, followed by a chilling afternoon with scattered showers (and the best rainbow I’ve ever seen), and finally with terrifying hail, then slush, then full-on snow. There’s a snow man in the parking lot of my hotel.

Sounds like tomorrow may be pretty ugly too. Ahhhh, not even 24 hours of homelessness in and it already feels like an adventure. No great epiphanies yet – those don’t come on the first day.

Interesting things seen today: 1) “Gun Club Road” 2) a school on Gun Club Road 3) a guy taking a picture of my bike covered in snow 4) a motel employee with too many DUIs.
