Traffic....in Idaho??

On our way home from New York, we thought we might catch a break with our transportation issues. It only took an hour of driving before we encountered a major traffic jam on the 15. We came to a complete stop and we didn't move an inch for 45 minutes.

(Mom had plenty of time to get out of the car and snap this picture of all the cars behind us, and there were this many in front of us too. No one was moving at all)

Finally, they rerouted us, and we saw that they had closed the 15 down in both directions for a 10 mile stretch. We never found out exactly what happened, but we saw this overturned semi truck as we went on our detour. It ended up taking us over 4 hours to get from Salt Lake to Pocatello.

(This was only one of the cars involved in the accident)

(Mom snapped this as we drove past the semi. This is the underside of it)
