Came down yesterday. All good until we turned off 8 onto 85. Traffic at standstill. Bad accident with fatal, 85 shut down completely at 8:30 am both directions. Saw today it was a semi involved and three deaths.

We turned around and went back to Casa Grande, down BIA15 through the reservation, 86 to Sells and Why. Quite the detour.

Hour wait at the border at 3:00. Then the luck of getting a military inspection. He was polite and just checked all our stuff.

So, the "normal" 3.5 hour trip took close to 7.

Be careful out there.

Blowing about 20 outta the SSE. Just like it has been for weeks. Makes for a rough ride to the 51, head seas the whole way. I'm too old to bother getting beat up like that anymore.

Update on the accident on 85. Woman and two small children died.
