Once again posting a day late. These photos are from a crazy weather day  in the west. We got rain, sleet, snow, dust, flash floods, lightning, and wind.  Felt at times we were in a movie.  Guess the Midwest is giving us a hard time for leaving.

Since the snow shut down the road into Yosemite we had to leave. It was beautiful from a distance and hope to see it next time.

We started seeing lots of big clouds on our drive east and noticed storms forming in the distance.  Ahead of us at times the storms were dumping tons of water and it was moving fast down the mountains and over roads.  Came thru one area so covered with dry mud from flooding yesterday that 2 big scraper trucks were trying to help find the road for motorist.  We were escorted by police to the area of clear road.

Got through that to find a steer standing in the road starring us down as he was going to cross.  This area was all open range, so no fence.  Then farther down the road I saw a cow that was getting closer but walking slow so I sped up and the cow must've had a death wish as he decides to run out into the road. Missed him.

We saw various signs today, besides road closed and flash floods/ roads closed. There were watch out for elk, steer, bears, and the funniest was cow flying aircraft. Someone changed the L into a C.

Had to reroute just north of Vegas and waited out the mess on the closures. Very thankful to find a motel tonight.
