Snow in Arizona

Our plan was to leave Flagstaff in time to buzz through the Grand Canyon and maybe Hoover Dam on the way to Las Vegas. But as soon as we hit the road the snowstorm started.


We drove in it for a few miles then agreed the little car wouldn't do very well in the storm, and neither of us wanted to drive 15mph all day. So we called an audible and diverted ourselves straight to the Hoover Dam. On the bright side, this would mean an earlier arrival in Vegas and more time to win money at blackjack.

Sure enough, it got sunny as we headed west for our Dam visit.

ZZ Top's rendition of 'Viva Las Vegas' was the best I could do to welcome Tripp back to town. Sam arrives tomorrow after Tripp flies back to Denver. Glad the airport is only about 25 feet from our hotel.
