Hi guys, Mother Nature and the DPS decided to close the highway yesterday. I left for the game at 7:30, but when I got to Miami (Weat of Globe) there was a roadblock. I chatted with a DPS cop and he said the road wouldn't be open till noon-ish.
We lost power at 6pm Saturday,, and it didn't return untill about 3:30 Sunday. No phone or internet, as Ricky noted. Power was out from Showlow to Globe. I was able to finally get thru to Phoenix along the Beeline around 4, but the snowplows were working and Eastbound traffic was at a standstill. I took my open-cab Jeep and it was one cold mother ride..
Thanks for your concern, fellows. I really feel bad about missing the game, especially since I had the Bomb! I gave it my best shot. This turned out to be the most snow we've ever had in my part of Gila County.
I'm glad to see those of you who made it out there had a good time.
Chip
