[17:09] Holiday Time
We're on the road! We've managed to leave only four hours late...around about rush hour to be exact. Oh well, only seven hours to the 'Armpit of America', otherwise known as Battle Mountain, Nevada where we get to stop for the night.

UPDATE:
Holy crap, that was a long and smokey drive. We happened to pass by the Mothball Fleet in Suisun Bay which I found out about a couple of weeks back so we stopped and checked it out (from a distance) while we were in the vicinity before hightailing it into the whiteout. Apparently there are approximately 700 forest fires burning in California at the moment so driving through the California/Nevada wilderness was an oddly winter-like experience except instead of fog and snow it's all smoke. We left the smoke behind around 1900 and the valiant Prius has managed to live up to it's 45 MPG boasts so far. 437 miles down, only 11,000ish to go.
