My kin is not to far from where you were in Jasper and they are still without power
I just arrived home in Pocatello at 8:30 MDT Saturday night. My arrival at Salt Lake City to return the rental car occurred at 8:30 PM Friday night. Childersburg, AL to Salt Lake City, UT in just under 48 hours.
It was a tough drive, but I think it was the right decision. My wife picked me up at the Salt Lake City airport at 8:45 PM and stayed at a Holiday Inn for the night. Our plans to attend the Crossroads Gun Show were retained. It was a good finish to a long trip.
I hope your family is doing Ok in Jasper. I'm wondering how the folks in Childersburg faired. The hotel was just plain flimsy.
