The forest fire caused us to take a two-hour detour down
into the valley and around the mountains. We had intended to approach
our campsite from the east; now we would approach from the west.
During the drive we joked about what else could go wrong:
encoutering a tornado, experiencing an earthquake, running out of
Fruitopia Fruit Integration. Well, we didn't encounter a tornado or an
earthquake, but we did bump into the biggest dust devil I'd ever seen.
LeAnne captured it on film.
That's Steve, Beth, Dave, and Shelby in the Exploder ahead of us.
That black smudge is either a bug-splat on the windshield of the
Pathfinder or a small house being strewn hither and yon.
