A Quick Rescue and Drive to Seattle

Russell, LeighAnn, their children and two dogs left to return back home to Seattle early Saturday morning (03 Dec).  We got a call just before 6am informing us that the old Suburban had broken down up in the Layton area.  Debbie headed up in the Impala, and I headed up in my pickup truck. You may recall that Russell and his family broke down when they came down for Thanksgiving last November.

We decided to leave the Suburban in a Target parking lot and then we all headed back towards Provo. Russell arranged for a towing company to come later and pick up the Suburban, We then stopped at the SLC Airport and picked up a Suburban from a car rental.  After getting everything all packed up back in Provo, we all set out together.  We met the tow-truck operator, who took the broken down vehicle back to Provo.  We then drove straight through to Russell's home in Seattle- arriving at around 1am.  

After getting a few hours of sleep, Debbie and I started for home at 8:30am Sunday morning.  It was raining, and then snow-packed as we started to climb up Interstate 90 out of the Seattle area.  The snow and rain continued until we got down into the East Oregon area.  Debbie and I made it back to Provo late Sunday evening.
