    El Capitan looming the distance (8th highest point in TX at 8,085 ft):

    Some kid from Austria who was driving it from California to Houston. He was more worried about whether his car would start than the squirrelly weather!

    If he's from Austria chances are he has seen snow before.

    Well, that much is true... but I'd show a little concern for all the other crazy mofos who think they're Scandinavian ice-driving champions all of a sudden...

    I hope you had a good time.. It looks like driving conditions would have been exciting to say the least..... I liked the Budget Inn pic the Miata looks pretty cool covered in snow.

    Thanks - glad y'all like the pix! It was a good time all around, and the Miata's not too bad of a sloppy-weather car.
