Oh The Weather


By all accounts we had quite a relatively crazy stint of weather this year. Us newbies had been told to expect "heat in the day and cold at night with a few probable dust storms." Well, we had the heat alright. Over a 100 degrees every day. No cold nights though - the evenings were downright balmy and pleasant. We got some rain followed by a double rainbow. And man, did we get a coupla intense dust storms. You could see it coming from across the playa. In some cases it would swirl around us, swallowing us up. On with the goggles and dust masks and wham! we'd be plunged into a weird twilight. The wind would kick up the dust and coat everything at camp.
