Hwy 238 in Arizona is a rather lonely road. My parents chose to take it one time, towing their travel trailer. Then they had a tire issue. Fortunately, a young family stopped, and the man changed Dad's tire for him. Otherwise, we aren't sure that the ERS that Dad belonged to, would come out that far from either GB or Maricopa.

Gila Bend has had its issues, which pretty much started when I-8 skirted around it. We started to travel between San Diego and Casa Grande, before I-8 was finished. You had to go through GB and Yuma. Yuma took the opportunities to build on the exits; Gila Bend did not do so right away.

Snow showers in Las Vegas

Boy, we are fortunate that today wasn't when we were planning to drive to the South Rim! Heavy snow and windy conditions there today.

We even had some snow flurries at our house in Las Vegas!

Meanwhile, here in NY they are forecasting possible record highs in the upper 50's to 60 range for tomorrow, and so far only a trace of snow this month (which of course sounds nothing like winter in this area would normally be).

Yep, that is true. And I have photos of heavy snow falling on the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign and snow on the pyramid of the Luxor!

That was a memorable visit!

(An aside, we are about 2 minutes away from having the search engine fixed.)

Yeah, that sounds pretty crazy -- and in the west there is an expected super bloom of wildflowers!
