Moving from SLC to Auburn, AL <episode 1> Slippery 491 road
I finished my six-day journey from Salt Lake City to Auburn, AL. Now, I am writing this at a small apartment in Auburn although I haven't finished unpacking my stuff. I can talk about my journey with a smile now, but my journey was not easy from very first day.
Because it had snowed a lot before we arrived there, the road between Utah and Colorado was very slippery. Even though I was driving very carefully, eventually slipped towards the right before we arrive at our destination. My car was going to the right shoulder of the road, so I steered to the left. Then, my car was heading towards other cars from the other side.
Hurriedly I steered to the other side, and then my car spun towards the cars behind my car. After that, I lost control of myself and my car spun crazily. Finally my car showed triple turning on the road like the triple flip of Yuna Kim, a Korean figure skater, and descended into the snow.
Fortunately no one was injured, but I could have made a really big accident. I had joined AAA membership just to be sure, and it had been a great choice because I received towing service helpfully and very soon.
After towing, I drove about ten minutes. Suddenly a deer appeared in front of our car in this time. I couldn't steer to either side because I was afraid of the slippery road, and I tried to stop my car. However, it didn't work on the road like an ice rink.
I won't forget the 491 road between Moab, Utah and Cortez, Colorado as long as I live.
