LAST PICS FROM SOUTHERN ARIZONA - WE'RE IN GRAND JUNCTION HEADED HOME!

We left Florence, AZ Wednesday morning and spent the night in Snowflake, AZ.  We drove through some sleet/snow just before Snowflake then it tried snowing much of the evening but there was no accumulation.  Thursday night we spent in Bluff at the Cadillac Ranch RV Park and they had a gorgeous state of the art bathroom/showers.  Beautiful tile work and layout.  Yesterday, Friday, we made it to Clifton and are parked at Jim and Judy's.   The roads yesterday were not great.   We did luck out and get behind two snow plow trucks just north of Blanding, UT and followed them all the way to Monticello, UT through the worst of the snow.  Apparently that section is not recommended for travel today.  I had seen that 10 -15 inches of snow was expected last night which is why I didn't stay a second night in Bluff.    We will stay here a few days before continuing our journey back to our place in Oliver, BC.   We played cards last night with Jim and Judy and Marie and her roomie, Glenna.  Fun times even if I was on the losing team.

We went to Catalina State park near Tucson on Tuesday with Richard and Judy.

The poppies and saguaro were in fine shape.

Highway 60 and the Salt River Canyon.  This is where you climb into the Arizona high country and the temperature drops.


Lots of elevation change as the bridge is down at river level.
