It just poured all last night. Overcast and sprinkles when we got up, but we pushed on anyway. We broke out into sunshine not far out of Gallup. Except for some wind about lunch time and that had stopped by … Continue reading →

Got this far and since it looked threatening up ahead…and the wind was picking up…Rick called ahead. Wind in Holbrook….snow in Flagstaff. Just as we pulled into the RV park here, there was a big forked lightning and thunder to … Continue reading →
