You've heard of an Australian walkabout? Jim and I headed out for a midwest states drive about. We had a fender bender on our way to Arizona and left our car in Bentonville for repairs. We rented another and drove to Arizona. Our car was ready on Feb 20 but Snow Storm Q was still rummaging through, so we waited until Saturday to head to Arkansas.

| Snow Storm Q's snow on New Mexico Mountains |
Our first stop was at Tucumcari, New Mexico where we heard that the next Snow Storm, Rocky was headed for New Mexico and Oklahoma, exactly where we planned to drive.

We decided to leave very early to get to Arkansas before the snow.

Our car was fine. We decided to go south to miss the snow that was falling in New Mexico, Oklahoma and Kansas. We drove through a little rain as Storm Rocky slid over Arkansas. Fortunately, the temperature stayed in the 40s.

We drove south to miss the snow in Amarillo and Oklahoma City. Imagine, blue skies finally!!

| The other type of storm - blowing dust in New Mexico |
Snow, dust, wind. This is a picture of blowing dust on I-10. Fortunately, it stayed high above us and visibility was good. Tucson, to Tucumari to Bentonville, AR to Weatherford, Texas to Deming New Mexico. We do love road trips!!
However, we'll stay put for awhile now. We have to give our guardian angel time to rest. She had a very tough time keeping the skies clear and the roads dry for us.
