Dear Cindy:
I do believe you have strong winds. Back in 1975 we drove to San Diego for
the AIS Convention, but stopped to pick up my parents who were living in
Carlsbad. We drove to Roswell to visit an iris garden and then on to
Albuquerque to visit another one. Somewhere between Roswell and Albuquerque
we were hit by a tremendous sand storm. Our brand new car which had 300
miles on it when we left home was pitted all over, but especially the
windshield. West of Albuquerque we stopped at a nice rest area to have
something to eat and couldn't keep the food on the table. Later that evening
we took off cross country from Grants to Page, Arizona, and ran into snow.
Of course, the most exciting part of that trip was that the next morning I
broke my ankle in Zion National Park. I spent the weekend in a hospital in
Las Vegas having surgery on the ankle, but went on to the convention and
toured gardens in a wheel chair. I even had my picture in the AIS Bulletin
in the wheelchair.
