Going home from Sierra Vista
Yesterday, I saw Kirby Pray pulling his car along interstate 8 toward San Diego, but he didn't see me. This got me to wondering whether everyone was able to get home safely from Sierra Vista. I know some of the roads were closed for periods of time and there were some icy conditions.

Re: Going home from Sierra Vista
Left on Thursday morning to get ahead of the front that was coming in. Got home Saturday morning about two hours before the blizzard started. I was really glad we left when we did.

Those that left on Saturday left to clear roads, sunny skies and a desert covered with a couple inches of snow. Spoke with a couple from Missouri that got home Tuesday on clear dry roads. Sunny in Arizona today and 70.

Re: Going home from Sierra Vista
We left Sunday for Tempe - clear and warm but saw this most of the way.
We had a great time! Thanks Joss, Richard and everyone else for making it a great event.

Re: Going home from Sierra Vista
I drove the T home Thursday morning. I had a few sprinkles on the windshield just North of Sonoita. I used about 3 gallons of gas to make it home. Started raining overnight, then turned to snow about 7:30 and snowed until 4:00. About 6" of snow at my house.
I did have a good time there. Thanks to Joss and Susan along with Richard Held for putting on the tour.

Re: Going home from Sierra Vista
From messages and emails I have received, everyone from the San Diego area got home safely. A couple of guys had medical issues but these were resolved. I got home just ahead of the storm that closed Interstate 8 near Campo.
I really enjoy the Sierra Vista area with roads and venues that are so perfect for our Ts, it only a shame that the weather didn’t cooperate. Anyhow we owe a debt of thanks to Joss, Richard and the rest of the crew for a well organized, enjoyable tour.
