Snow Birds

[salmonchaser]

We had a great time last year, decided to do it again. We left Friday about 1100 hours. Road side snow all the way to Winnemucca Nevada. Today we traveled to just North of Vegas. Road side snow all the way to Tonenpau (spelling). Finally above freezing. Tomorrow we head to Parker Arizona.

I thought only Canadians could be snowbirds. Arizona seems to be a second home for a large number of people from this area in northern BC.

One of the places we camp, the locals call it Canadian season.

'Bout right, I'm certain.

Amazing how beautiful and rugged Nevada is. Not quite so harsh with snow on the ground. Looks to be dryer down here near Vegas. But it should be a beautiful spring.

You had me until Winnemucca- too close to Fallon.

I think anyone from north of I-10 can be a snow bird.

WE get our share of snowbirds. I just wish some knew how to drive. Quite a few east coasters and from up in the Great Lakes area. Haven't seen too many Canadian license plates though Maybe two or three in that last couple of months. One guy I know is from Wisconsin. He usually shows up around late September and leaves at the end of April. He goes to my church when he's in town.

Still in Parker, Arizona. one or two more nights. Nice county park along the river. I thought the Colorado river would be bigger. Still snow at home, almost feel guilty.

Nice pictures thanks for sharing.
You going to look for the lost Dutchman mine?

Looks like a great time! I was in the Superstitious Mountains when I was a kid. It's some pretty rugged country.
Are you going to go through the red rock country while you are in AZ?

I dug around a bit until someone told me a park ranger was coming.
