I am heading into Arizona today, and thought I'd aim somewhere near Winslow, AZ to meet up with Michael (who left Oregon yesterday). That way we could go to the Petrified Forest National Park and Canyon de Chelly.

I decided to go up through Silver City and over into Eagar through the San Francisco mountains.

Watching the news this morning before leaving I heard that the awful winds I rode through to get to the VLA were actually 60 mph winds. No wonder I was so miserable. At this point, I just want out of this state. (Although I think the storm is all across the West. Heard a semi blew over coming from Tucson...won't go that way)
