Yesterday we drove up to Inyokern, CA, with plans to enter Death Valley National Park today. Started out this AM only to find a winter storm joining us. Serious winds, with snow and rain just behind. Ever read about warnings for drivers of High Profile Vehicles? That's us.
We turned around. Returned to our nice enough country park. Tomorrow we hope to make a run for home in between snow storms.
We normally travel through the Tehachapi Pass, a 4,000' high slot in the Sierra Mountains. Not this time. We'll drive 25 miles south and try to head west at a lower elevation.
Likewise nix the plans for Morro Bay on the California coast. We'll hunker down at Park Sierra, if we can get there.
Shoulda stayed in Tucson. In hindsight, dang it. Still, while three big winter storms roar through much of the country this winter, we wore suntan lotion in 70 degrees desert. We'll live.

We are facing the same thing. Trying to be in Langley for Sunday, weather permitting. Enjoy "our" lot. You probably won't be able to see that we swept the pad for the SNOW.
