Curse of the Clocks

I know we only crossed one time zone, but there are some issues we're having with Mountain Time. When we checked into the lodge we're staying at, we were given a very nice room. We came in and started unpacking things, and didn't pay much attention to our cell phones or the computer we brought along. When Heather got up in the middle of the night, and went to the sink for a drink of water, she noticed walking by the microwave that it only said 11:30. She couldn't believe that it felt like we'd been asleep for a few hours, and yet, it had only been one. When I woke up, we decided to go outside and look for the sunrise since the alarm clock said it was quite early. We looked it up and it looked like we had close to 2 hours before the sun came up, so we were just going to go for a drive. We went outside, and found it really getting quite light for it being 2 hours before sunrise. When we got in the car and started moving, we found that there were ZERO clocks that were correct in our room. When we returned, we found the microwave clock was 4 hours and 20 minutes off, and the alarm clock was 1 hour and 8 minutes off. Heather said when she looked at the computer it said the correct time for Central, but she hadn't made the time change properly when trying to figure it out. Flash back to yesterday when we crossed the time zone line, she had bumped the clock the wrong way in the car. We reset it so we knew we were on the same time as the local population. So, needless to say, we've been having some serious time telling issue between both of us. I hope this gets better, or we might be a few days getting home....
