Thursday, December 1, 2011

We awoke this morning to snow in Seligman, Arizona.  This town is above 5000 feet elevation.  We were concerned to drive or remain to wait out the snowstorm.  The decision was to trudge on to Kingman (about 70 miles).
Ten miles down the road, we faced a dense snowstorm.  The visibility was about 100 feet with large quarter-size snowflakes.  Tom was very tense because he could not see the white lines on the right side of the road.  Finally, we reached a lower elevation where the precipitation was rain.

About 1 ½ hours later we arrived in Kingman, Arizona.  We met Karl, our friend, at the Flying J truck stop.  Then, we proceeded to his house in the middle of the high desert – our destination for about the next two weeks.  We have a fabulous view of the desert and mountains.  Yeah! No Wal-Mart parking lot.
