It's monsoon, finally, and there is thunder and lightning. Arizona is a great place to see lightning. It's also a great place to learn how to spell lightning, which does NOT have an "E" in it.

Lightening my load, I left my tent in the car and started out down the trail. Lightning struck nearby and the rain began, and having no tent, I had to seek shelter under a ledge. Lightening my load was not a good idea during lightning season.

Storming here right now. Fun driving home, tree branches in street standing water. One place put Cherokee in 4wd and drove over median and down ditch to get around a tree that was down. Sky is black and the smell of rain in the desert. Love it!!

It's a-rumblin' here right now! About time, too--we have had several days of dry weather.
