Road Trip 2010 — Flagstaff Surprise

May 11, 2010

Sometimes to go forward, you have to go backward. To reach, and then withdraw. Today was that kind of day. I started out this morning from Seligman, AZ with idea of getting to Grants, NM by evening. Although it was gusty, the sun was shining bright through the cumulus clouds. Then the emergency signs lit up — I-40 Closed — Expect Delays. I didn’t know how long the delays might be, so I just kept going. But at the Twin Arrows Exit 219 the trucks were parked for a mile or two on both sides, and they were turning folks back. Now if I were in my other car, which is a Big Rig Rollin’ I might have just slept in the cab, but in Little Silver it was time to take the twin arrow that was pointing back to Flagstaff.

    Wow, that is some serious wind. I’m glad you stopped for the night.
