Monday, June 16

After hours pouring over the weather reports, forecasts and maps we decided last night that today was a no go to start our trek westward. As usual the forecast and map depictions were wrong and we could have gone this morning.

Last night we rehashed every scenario on the phone with both of us looking at computers as we discussed what to do. I am always anxious to get started and I try to curb that inclination so as not to launch us into a bad weather situation. Mary was worried about bad weather west of Pittsburg and had run into a forecast last week with a good outlook that turned sour. All of this went into our decision making.

I was not at Mary's this morning and by the time I could get there and we would have gotten off we would have run into some afternoon T storms. in Pittsburg or further west.
Lesson learned. Next time we follow our instincts and go take a look, we can always do a 180.
Today I go to Mary's so we are ready tomorrow morning.
