Dust Storm -- Overland From the Playa


In the Midwest, the weather news has been snow, ice, and cold. Here in the Southwest, it's been wind.

We could see the dust in the distance from about 20 miles away. As we drove closer, the storm naturally appeared larger. 




We were in the clear in Willcox, but driving from there to Dos Cabezas we were heading right into the storm. We could not even see our mountains in any direction.





And then, happily, before Dos Cabezas, we came out the other side.

  1. Great sequence, Pamela. The dust storm almost looks like fog.

    1. Karen, the first time I saw dust on the playa from the southeast, I thought it was evaporation from rain the night before.

  2. Wow. That's one thing I don't like about life out there, the dust storms.

    1. Another today. From a distance, we thought it was rain, but no such luck. Grey skies and more wind at present. Everyone is hoping for rain.
