*START* of Arizona trip, Feb 2017.

We did get away ok today, just before 8am. Other than a bit of black ice on the 401 east of Woodstock and a few flurries at times, it was a pretty easy drive considering the time of year.

It never got much above -7C today, with a really cold wind chill too, so we decided to hotel it at the Auburn Indiana La Quinta Inn tonight. I69 through Michigan seemed better than it was the last time we were through this way (2009 I think), but it's still rough in spots.
