Jack and Marie and I left Frisco in the "Mother Ship" and the "Eagle" (named such by Kathe) at about 7:45 yesterday after a wonderful neighborhood send off that even included donuts! Thanks Jim and Kathe, Ron and Helen! We headed west toward Balmorhea. The winds were terrible. Really have to fight wind in these high profile vehicles. makes driving not much of a pleasure! We stopped for lunch in Coahoma...at a dairy Queen. It was as usual pretty good. We got to Balmorhea State Park about 10 til 5 and the park ranger joked about the wind saying he wondered if we really wanted to come to the park or if we had just been blown off the highway!! It was nice to stop for the night. We figured the worst was behind us. Boy were we wrong!! Today we not only had wind BUT also SNOW and hail and grauple and dust! We went through a few dusty snow storms or snowy dust storms! It was wild! It was really nice to get here - it may have only been 3 o'clock local time BUT it was beer time!! It is supposed to get into the teens tonight! WOW! Welcome to warm sunny southern Arizona!! Tomorrow our drive into Surprise should only be about 4 or 4 and a half hours. At least we can wait until it warms up a bit before leaving. And we will be hthere ofr 5 nights. The weather tonight did say that it would be in the
80s by Thursday! Hopefully, I will be able to upload some pictures of todays SNOW in sunny southern Arizona. Pictures wouldn't load tonight - will try to send them on tomorrow.
