I had a great weekend up in the Fossil Creek Wilderness with two Hoosier friends, (http://dogsnotonmywindshield.blogspot.com/2009/10/verde-river-valley.html) but now am back to another week of humdrum. Now a cold front from Alaska is due by tomorrow, bringing cold winds. By Wednesday we'll get cold rains and snow in the higher (5000' and up) elevations. Will that front dip south far enough to affect us, or will it linger between Tucson and Phoenix, like many storms do, because of the high mountain ranges that surround the Valley of the Sun?
I called Linda to let her know that she and Mike may be better off to leave earlier rather than later, as that area is prone to flash floodings and her van will have a hard time making it up the dirt road for six miles. I left her a message on her cell phone. She won't get that message until she reaches high ground. Hopefully they will do that before tomorrow.
Time to get my tomatoes picked and my strawberries covered for the season. The cold is coming early this season.
