The road home


Good Morning America. Happy Easter to all. The Easter bunny had to put on a white coat of thick fur this morning in Nephi Utah.

Only 2 inches of fresh fluffy stuff this morning :puzzled:
Glad I left the snowbrush in the car and had all of my ski gear.

Hope you all have a warm, windy day on the playa. Thanks for a great time.

Bill & Kim

Too bad it looks like it didn't stick. It would be cool to get a snow session in too.

Have a safe remainder of your trip Canuck. I drove home in pretty heavy rain after I got back in the Central Valley. I hope my kites will clean up as well as my car did from the rain!

I don't even want to talk about the $&#*@ trip home. A little wind and snow and CALTRANS turns my 16 hour trip in to a 26 hour night mare!
Wound up getting turned around at Reddening, back tracked to hwy-20 that ran through the middle of nowhere. Spent the night at a hotel located on a dot on the map. Next morning on the road for 10 minutes then there was this white stuff fallin from the sky, wtf?

On the road at 7:30 am on Sat, home 5:00 pm on Mon......... Who do I complain to? :lol:

We got stuck at the Hoover Dam for two hours only to be turned back.

Now chilling in Flagstaff waiting for the coffee to warm me up before driving Sparkette to Silver City New Mexico.

Anyone know how my locked car got put into the tent on sunday?

I can come up with two ways to do it. Have a bunch of guys physically pick it up and move it (depends on weight) or move the tent so that it's around the car (assuming that the tent has no floor).

Watching Stefan (Big Dutch guy) wrestling with Arie, tells me he could just pick it up and put it in there himself. It could be dragged in with a few strong fellows though.
