Dream of Craig in Foothills of North Salt Lake

We are in a 4-wheel-drive vehicle in the foothills of North Salt Lake where I grew up. Craig is driving. We are trying to make it to the mountain tops. Craig says the roads are chained off when you get to the lake bench 1/3 the way up but that the chains aren't locked and he had removed them and gone further.

I spend more time with my head turned left looking at Craig in the cab of the truck than looking out at the landscape. I'm very aware (in the dream) that any time spent with Craig is a gift since he's gone.

I see a steep road that seems to go straight up the mountain. I say let's take it. Craig asks if I've been on it before. I say it strange but I've never even seen it. You'd think I would know it, having grown up here.

As we approach the bottom of the road I'm surprised that Craig is making a slow half-hearted approach in 2-wheel-drive. I suggest putting it in 4-wheel-drive. He turns and asks me, doyouthinkso? with a smiling curious face.

Another car comes down the hill on the road and passes us as we prepare to go up. The road is covered in parts with ice, particularly the bottom part.

We start to go up and I expect to slip a bit on the ice. The dream fades...
