Well I guess "the Gods must be crazy" again, someone trying to rain on our parade. Still in now I just have to figure out the water proofing elements I have to bring for five.

[Dusty]

Oh Jeff I am sorry to hear this. I know what it is like not being able to breathe. Our prayers for you and your wife. We will miss ya.

It has been raining up here in the San Bernadino mountains, and is suppose to turn to snow tonight. Then snow all the way through Sunday.
If San Diego is getting precipitation, then you know it is on its way to you Zonies .

Do ya think this will put a damp(er) on our trip??????

A I really wanna see you all.
B We so need a vacation from everything too. And Lastly..............
C It is such a darn good time with you cazy zany Jeepers!

[fulsizjeep]

It will be great to see everyone. We sure missed you and Dave last year Dusty. Krista got off early and started some chores to get ready. I was about 4 miles from my shop when I got a distress call that she was taking Luna to the vet. Luna... screeching... pain... hot neck and back, broken signal, stressed voice... How did I even get the call where I was at??? I hot footed it out of the park in the KIA and met her and Luna at the vet. Turns out she has an ugly tumor at the base of her tail just above the anus. Dayum. And seems to be some arthritis flaring up with this wet winter storm. Old Geezer she is. We got some drugs for her and came home to pack. We have lots of dog blankets stacked up for Luna to be comfy on the trip. What else? Got my annual review today and it looked pretty good. Been a crazy busy year with the new visitor center opening at the park and all. No money in it but I am still in good standing so whatahey. I gotta have a Blue Moon before I go further. The ponchos are all rotten and tossed in the trash, sigh. Guess we will pick up some tourist ponchos on the trip.

Next report before we bail out of winter wonderland. We will likely get a few inches of white stuff tonight and the mountains in SW CO are getting hammered now.

Crazy dog whisperer 101 is onboard for duty.
See you (and if that is your real family) soon.
You know the number.

[Gumby]

Who really cares if it is the real family, just bring one with you.


Jeff we also have you both in our prayers and still optimistic that you both will be able to still make it.

[TUDrewser]

So what is the schedule like? I'm guessing it's loose. But since I have the family, I have to at least plan a bit for my wife's sanity. For example, if we get to McDonald's at 9, do we have time to grab breakfast? Is there wheeling on Saturday? Sunday? What time do people generally leave?

Also, we are getting slammed with rain and lightening that I swear hit our neighbors house it was so close...

Pretty easy, breakfast at the arches. Usually someone takes off for spin while the major part of the dinner is prepared. No set plans if I can ever recall just be back before dinner because there are some eaters out there. Most of what happens happen around the fire.

Thanks everyone. They are jacking her full of steroids to get the swelling in her lungs to go down. So far it's working.e might get to come home today. She might get to come home today. Yesterday she said maybe we can still make it. But I know she said that just because she knows how bad I want to. Realisticlly it's not a good idea. Yesterday they did finally move her to a room with a window. So I just stand there listening to her and staring out the window. What a view.

[will e]

Jeff, we will keep her and you in our thoughts and prayers.

Everyone, I told one of th AZVJC guys about the get together and invited them to drop by. He drives a Patriot and might swing by just to say 'hi' with the wife and kids. So if I am out wheel'n and some family drops in driving a Patriot you know why.

[salamander]

My wife has to work Saturday till 8pm so most likely we will not hit the road till Sunday morning.
We will have every thing we have in Az with us and have to keep up on the weather.

[jsinajeep]

Jeff, we understand you not making it. And our Thoughts and Prayer are with you both.

Salamander, we all would like to meet you and your family, but if you are leaving Sunday
morning and have everything with you you better keep head North. Sorry we are going
to miss you.

[salamander]

Ya we are seeing how things play out. The weather is a huge factor.

[Dusty]

So is the rain going to be a bummer?

Like will anyone NOT come if it is kinda wet out side?
We are getting a LOT of snow up here, and just looked at the forecast for Florence. She seams like she is getting kinda wet out there

[TUDrewser]

We are still planning on coming. So there will at least be 8 of us there

Edit: man, just looked at radar. It's like the gulf of ca is a rain machine, just pumping it up at us. Sheesh. More rain than we've had all year. Combined maybe.

Well I will be going still. My youngest started having a rough cough so Starr let me know that if the weather keeps up like this and tonight the little on continues like last, her and the kids will be staying home. Sucks but I would rather not have her on the hospital on Sunday.

Watching it loop from NOAA.
The area we camp in started to get pounded at about 12:15 Tucson time.

[Dusty]

Well the jeep is packed up, and we are still gonna go!

Were off to the Ol Filler up and keep on truckin cafe!

[rstep]

Safe travels Dusty , Flint and Krista.
As for me it's still on.
If we have to relocate because of the wet ground or wash we will.
I have packed 2 20 x 30 tarps we can build us something. Right now south east Tucson is dry.
