We drove across the state of Arizona today. The middle of the state was assaulted by some crazy snowstorm, so there was about a foot or two of snow on the ground in Flagstaff. There were some patches of ice on the interstate, but the roads were mostly clear. There wasn't any snow in the eastern part of the state where the Petrified Forest National Park is. We saw the Painted Desert and looked at some trees that looked like quartz. Then back to Flagstaff where we saw the Browns defeat the Superbowl Champion Steelers to lock in their second win of the season in a bar with a surprising number of Cleveland fans (also a fair number of Steelers fans, who are not a friendly bunch).
It's been kind of slow going since Vegas. The past couple of days have been nicer than the couple of days before, but we're sad we haven't been able to camp except for one night at the very beginning because it's been so cold (I think the low tonight, for example, is 7). But the boost provided by the Browns win plus leaving southern California and the anticipated warmer weather should propel us through the rest of the southwest.
