SNOW in April !?!

Yes, this morning we awoke to find snow on the ground and still coming down!  It wasn’t that much but it did reinforce our decision to head back south and eastward as we start our last leg of this winter adventure.

Because of the snow and then rain it took us a little longer to get moving. The views as we traveled east under the Escalante Staircase and past the Vermillion Cliffs and Monument Valley was very pretty.  The bad part is that it threatened rain almost all day and the winds were terrible.  Most of the time they came at us from the north side but sometimes we were positioned so that they pushed us.  The roads were not always very smooth, sometimes they were narrow or under construction and combined with the wind it made for a long and exhausting drive. 

We found a closed weigh station north of Albuquerque to stop at for the night.
