Yesterday we held back on traveling. Thirty to fifty mile per hour winds gave us pause. Besides, we were staying in a beautiful rural park, so what's the rush?
Today we departed for a better weather forecast. Within thirty minutes, snowflakes fell. And continued in greater numbers as we drove up toward the Continental Divide. Past that 8,000 foot summit, with snow steadily increasing, we stopped in Quemado, NM. By 1pm, the snowstorm broke and we drove on to a dry camping spot outside of the Petrified Forest National Park.
After three or four days of very cold weather, and predictions of more cool windy weather tomorrow, we will forgo the Forest and the Painted Desert, chosing to return to more temperate regions of AZ and CA. Thus we will leave the northern AZ mountains tomorrow, on to the Escapee Park in Congress, AZ.

Where are you now? We're in Bozeman with snow every day last week. Spring arrived this week though. Hope Jenna is feeling better. I can't believe how slow the medical attention was. Joyce
