So So Cal

Today was perhaps the worst riding conditions I have ever encountered. We left Page AZ this morning with pleasant conditions and just a little wind. As the day progressed we met increasing wind and dust storms; the wind was up to about 45 MPH.
North of Flagstaff we ran into a hail storm and as we left Flagstaff headed for Williams we hit a snow storm. This was the worst part of the ride; the visibility was almost zero and the road conditions were positively treacherous, there were cars slipping off the freeway all over the place. The Arizona HP had their hands full trying to deal with all of the problems. We finally made it to the hotel, checked in and then took a cab down town to the Canyon Club, a sleazy bar known to most people who have visited Williams.
We plan to leave tomorrow about 11.00 AM to miss the worst of the weather and make our run to Laughlin in nothing worse than thunder storms.
