Our normal three hour drive on Saturday from Pasco to Seattle took seven; in an attempt to avoid snow on Snoqualmie Pass we ran right into it on Sutan Pass. The modern Ford Mustang, not know for its snow handling and sporting the wrong tires, was all kinds of fun inching over snowy, icey and remote Sutan Pass. Wby did we taken Sutan Pass (which turns out to also be higher than Snoqualmie)? Because my wife thought I knew the pass was there, even though I said I’d never driven over state highway 97 through Goldendale (we were heading south to I-84).
As I carefully steered up the pass, hoping not to slow down and lose traction, I asked why she thought this route was a good idea. She said she thought I had scoped out the pass. I said I had told her I didn’t know there was a pass at all! Well, this back and forth conversation lasted until we crested the pass and slid/drove our way down the other side.
Despite her cool exterior and her positive confirmation of my driving skills, she was very busy snapping pictures with her phone and posting on Facebook pictures of the snowy road with comments like “we are gonna die” and “if we don’t make it, we love you all”. She does have a sense of humor 
So, after our long drive, we crashed in bed and have slept the night away. Updates later.
