Alert | I have just returned from a 2800 mile trip to San Diego after attending the SWPA Treffen in Parker, AZ. I got caught in a terrific snow storm in Grand Canyon. Really made the view change, I know this is late for your winter pictures deal but this is still a great example of how weather can change from one hour to the next. It was the really wet sticky snow and the weight knocked one wiper off and made visibility only about 400 feet so I pulled off in the pinion pines and spent the night. Awoke to beauty all around me. |

Alert | Chaco rules- spent a lot of time in that valley in the 80's, when the road was still a red clay mess. Cabezon is just a stunner also That area is a really historic overland trip in many ways | | Everett, Reno, Astoria, BedStuy, Greenpoint, Bayfield, Brazos, Albuquerque | |

Alert | Grant, The road is still a mess, but right now it's dust...mud later in the rainy season. I was there in the 80's as well but then I did it in an RV. The old road (57) from the north, is now closed. There is a sign at that entrance point that says there is no longer access to Chaco. |

Alert | | Wow, that brings back some memories- how your sense of anticipation goes up as soon as you turn west onto that track, trying to outrun a thunderhead. This is the place of so much of my youth, and why I can't get enough of East WA | | Everett, Reno, Astoria, BedStuy, Greenpoint, Bayfield, Brazos, Albuquerque | |
