From Moody to Hell to Home

Thought I'd be able to get a quick painting in yesterday morning...

Packed up my things, grabbed a bite to eat and the clouds only darkened. Drizzle. GORGEOUS! But yeah, storm approaching. Since I had to drive back up out of the canyon (Sedona) up to Flagstaff... I opted to start the drive back west.

Farewell to the spectacular Sedona!

And 5.5 hours later... A special kind of hell: Barstow.

What a shock. What is this place?? Outlets. Buses. Masses of shoppers. Hot like hell. Where am I? A pit stop.

I'm heading home. 

Oh! What A Night!!

Got back late last night, but could already see the change in the weather.

It started with clouds and grey.

Then came wind. WIND!!! Howling like mad, and long gusts! Never experienced that before!

Next.... RAIN! Still raining now too. Didn't know if my tent would stay up or stay dry... But it did! 

What a ride!
