For those who are making the trip, the latest 10 day weather out look, though June 1, is as follows:

The gas prices are at least $3.79 in Blythe (on the I-10) and Needles (I-40) CA. My suggestion is if you can, fill up in Palm Springs and then Quartizite AZ (I-10) and the same for Barstow then at exit 9 Arizona (I-40) as the price per gallon is $1.00 less, in the area of $2.75. This is based on a "hot shot"run to Mohave, CA and back Friday and Sat. just passed. The price of gas continues to fall almost daily, in the "Zone."

I hope you are right about the price of fuel but if past years are any indication the price has consistently risen the week preceding Independence day. I am glad we are coming from the east as prices here are hovering around 2.61 and 8 cents less than that across the river in Iowa.

Thanks Glen, Hoping the gas prices and the temperatures continue to drop!

We all know that the price of gas is "fickled" at best.....the recent events in Europe,
has taken it's toll on the price per barrell of oil, as investors are now putting money
into Gold! With all of that and several reports in the "Arizona Republic" and
the "Tuscon Daily Star", concerning the price of gas, I can only state what I see on
the personal level. While it may show a little increase, due to what Frank41 says, it
will never compare to what Blythe and Needles charge.....as they are "got you"
towns! In the last week, in the town closest to me, Chino Valley, 28 miles away, the
Safeway depot has dropped about .13 cents a gallon for unleaded, to now $2.75,
with diesel jucie, just at $3.00.

So I guess no matter what the price may be in "ZONE", it should provide some relief
to our California friends.

As far as the weather......just be glad the event is not being held in July! Just use a good sun screen and wear a big wide brim hat.......Besides that, no camel sightings as of yet!

You hit the nail on the head when you say "got you" towns Glen.

Forecast for Saturday through Saturday is "Sunny"!
Lowest high temp appears to be 94 but "it's a dry heat" so consume lots of liquids.

I'll be thinking about you and following your posts here. Have some fun for me.
