We drove to Phoenix to help Ang and Tommy move into their new apt. Thursday night between Panguitch and Kanab we encountered a TERRIBLE snow storm...keep in mind it was May 22nd!!! Visibility was terrible---ZERO!!!--we had to drive 10-20 mph for miles! Then the next day as we drove around the rim of the Grand Canyon (one of Tim's dreams...we'd never been there.) we got dumped on again...MORE bad weather; this time it was rain, sleet, hail and snow...and it stuck to the road which made driving treacherous (Tim had taken his snow tires off) ...UGH!!! We could only see the canyon at one of the many look out points and it was SO cold...remember it was May 23rd!!! We arrived safe, but not mentally sound!!! We make the 11 hr. drive home tomorrow...NOT looking forward to that! The forecast is for nice weather--but keep in mind it was only supposed to be rain when we drove down here! It's wonderful to be here and spend time with Ang, Tommy and Jack.

Oh my goodness! I am glad that you are ok though! I am glad that you survived driving a long ways in two consecutive weekends!
Sounds like Wyoming weather to me!! We had really slushy rain/snow mix out of Casper on Friday night. It hit right after we changed the flat tire on the road to Martins Cove! YEA! Tracy and I are wondering if coming to Utah is ever a good idea any more. Something has gone wrong the past couple of times. Glad you are safe.
