Jackpot, NV

 Left Dillon early road reports said snow and ice on road going over pass at the Montana / Idaho border and Idaho only had the previous days road conditions so we did not know what we were in for.  

Started out scattered ice in the passing lane, but driving lane was mostly bare.  

It was super windy, making it fun to see the snow swirl on top of the roadway.  When we got to Clark Canyon Reservoir it was fun to see all the guys out fishing in the frigid weather with their ice huts and atv's.  One such ice hut looked lonely, and 1/2 sunken in the ice, must have fell in during a warm snap?  There was no one around it.    

When we started moving up the pass the cute swirls went crazy and became a full blown blizzard.  I was assured that I could still see vehicles traveling in the northbound lanes of the freeway.  The driving lane was mostly bare, so that helped to see were on the road we needed to be.  Half way thru the blizzard we saw a dark shadow, and hit the breaks, it was a slow moving white RV towing a dark jeep.  The jeep had no lights, but the RV had its lights on.  We stayed behind them with our flashers on the rest of the way.  (by the way, whenever we get gas we clean off our tail lights on both the car and RV)  

Once we came off the pass the roads were bare and dry.  We decided Idaho Falls was too soon to stop, so we powered thru to Cactus Petes, Jackpot, NV.  This is what our view in the morning was:

We found there are more spaces behind the Casino, and pulled into space 7 and were perfectly level.  We were able to get water and dump our tanks at the campground.

At a temp of +7F and calm it seemed nice out, (it was -13F at home) so we felt like it was lot nicer.  Since no one was around in the park Boomer got to romp a bit before heading out.
