I'm heading back out there tomorrow night through Monday. Will freeze our asses off, but it's supposed to be all clear. And boootiful!
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Very much so. Enjoy! And stay warm. Man, it gets cold there.
I am missing the desert a lot right now. The stark beauty.

Maybe we might not head out tomorrow night. This just in, on another board: Joshua Tree National Park is now closed. I'm not kidding. No one will be allowed in until further notice. Hwy 247 is also closed. There's about 4-6" in town (JT), 9" in yucca Valley and it's still coming down. It is so pretty.

Just called mom. "Yeah, I heard Curtis [the NP superintendent] was going to close it."
She's got eight inches and she's off Park Blvd to the right where the water tower is.

Apparently? They can't find the road. So once it stops snowing and they can snow plow the roads, it'll reopen. Um, assuming they FIND the roads.

"Well, it was here yesterday. Between those two cactuses. Or maybe those two. Which way's north again?"

"I know it was lying around here somewhere."
I just heard from a friend that Las Vegas got snow.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Dude, Muppets!

It's not there are buildings. There are Joshua Trees and big rocks. And one (okay, three) little roads. More than a couple of inches and you can't see the curbs anymore. I am still totally amused that they lost the road.

That is awesome. I'm taking snowshoes and my ICEBOX igloo maker.
