Heading north between Vegas and Reno, crossing the vast high desert, we got into a thunderstorm and heavy rainfall -- something we've never encountered in the desert. Amazing and exciting. The rain came down so hard it sounded like hail. More photos on Flickr.

If you yearn for a change of climate, try the Las Vegas valley. Sunny and dry and it cools down to 93 at night!
