Late Night Visitor

After having a day of pouring rain on Friday, continuing into the night, we had a visitor ring the doorbell around 8:30 - It was Tony!  He had ridden his red motorcycle from Las Vegas, intending to surprise us with a short visit. Little did he realize that the beautiful day he experienced in southern Utah would turn to pouring rain and freeway bumper-to-bumper traffic as he got into Salt Lake and headed north.  By the time he got to Preston, all of his really high-class gear was soaked, and he was one solid chunk of ice.  The good news - he missed the rock slide in Sardine Canyon by at least an hour, and got here safely.  A long session in a hot shower, the clothes dryer, and inventive way to dry all of his gear solved any problems.  We had a good visit, and he headed back this morning with a more positive weather forecast.  This was one time when a surprise was better than having foreknowledge of a visit!

What a wonderful surprise. I'm just thankful Tony made it to your house safe and sound.
