    Thanks. If you look at the forecast in post #18 it looks like quite a bit of rain. Hopefully that doesn't screw things up.

    Flash floods are kind of a big deal around here. They had one somewhere around here yesterday. Nine people confirmed dead and one still missing. Oldest was a 60 year old lady and the youngest was a 2 year old kid.

    I'm not afraid of getting a little wet, but I don't want to meet an untimely end here in Arizona.

    The one thing to look out for is the WARNING BEWARE OF FLOODS ON ROAD DO NOT PASS WHEN RAINING. We were on a secondary road yesterday and a 10' section has what was left from the side of the road washed across it.

    Got a little rained on coming back from the Grand Canyon today. Nothing too serious and we were at 8,000 feet when it started so I doubt we were at much risk of a flash flood that high up.

    Well, yeah, look at all of that natural drainage.

    Yeah, but they keep it nice and cool in those casinos.

    Yep, stay safe bro and keep having a great time. I did a southwest tour last fall I think it was, and made it up to Grand Canyon....it was cool for sure.

    I'm gonna be living in Prescott or the valley I think. I'm gonna make two more trips down there this fall looking at areas for property and looking for a suitable job.

    Thanks for posting up about your travels... cool.

    Little known fact: If one were to invert the rocky mtns. They would fit perfectly in the chasm of the grand canyon.

    Took a short 350 mile ride today that included about a hundred miles of one of the original stretches of Route 66.

    Ran into some rain on the way back to Flagstaff but otherwise it was a nice day for a ride.
