My wife and I stopped in Q on way to San Diego for a couple of hours. Tony and spouse took most of our meager spending. Had fun in the $1 slab bin and then we discovered a barrel with like priced smalls. Hey, tomorrow is valentine's day so I told my wife she could have as many of the $1 slabs as she wanted. The 8 inch saw blade and a hand full of African blue lace topped out our hit and run visit. It had rained so was cool but of course no mud or puddles were evident. It just washed off the rocks. Thanks Tony!

We had a bit of rain as well, and more forcast for tomorrow.If you took US60 you were about 25 minutes away from us at Wickenburg, closer if you went on I17.

Left Cottonwood headed west and saw an ominous cloud ahead. As we climbed out of Jerome, the snow was horizontal and accumulating. About half way to the pass fell in behind a snow plow which indeed did help clear the wheel tracks. It got really slick until we started dropping into the Prescott Valley. Spotty traces of rain off and on all the way to Quartzite and yes we were tangential to Wickenburg. We saw all forms of weather in one day. But the visual show at the rock show was worth the trip. We'll propose stopping for tea sometime when we go through in the future.

Peruano - Your route probably came within about ten miles of our house, too, as you passed through from Prescott Valley to Prescott.
Its quite true at this time of year around here that sometimes you don't have to drive very far to find a change in the weather... .
