Question Finding Diesel for your RV?

I have to check the elevation at Page, I'll be there until the 3rd which I go to the Grand Canyon then Flagstaff. As long as I am not in the snow levels...

I took a look at Page, AZ weather and didn't see precip except for Tuesday, just cold temps. I'll probably just continue with my plans for now.

Page is about same elevation as Sedona but further north. NWS paints a little different picture for the week. Not much accumulation but cold, rainy and snowy. You will not be fighting any crowds.

Now they are saying another system my develop for the weekend.

.DISCUSSION...High clouds will continue to move over northern
Arizona tonight in advance of a trough of low pressure to our
west. This trough will bring increasing clouds, breezes, and
chances for precipitation (west to east) on Monday. Starting
Monday evening and heading into Christmas Eve showers will become
likely across northern Arizona as the best moisture and upward
lift from storm dynamics moves in. Overall the best chance for
showers and higher precipitation amounts will be along and south
of a line extending from Flagstaff to Show low where the deepest
moisture, storm dynamics and upslope forcing will exist. The snow
level Tuesday looks to be 6000-6500 feet from Flagstaff north and
west and 6500-7500 east of Flagstaff to the New Mexico border. At
this time we are expecting general snow accumulations of 2 to 8
inches above 6500 feet. Higher amounts over the San Francisco
Peaks, White Mountains and portions of the eastern Mogollon Rim.
The first low should clear the state Tuesday evening. Much colder
on Tuesday with the passage of a cold front with mountain highs in
the 30s, mainly in the 40s at lower elevations.

From Christmas Day Onward...A large trough over the western
United States will continue to be the big weather producer for
northern Arizona through the long term period.

Showery conditions are expected to continue across the area on
wednesday as weak shortwave trough will provide instability and low
level moisture will be prevalent enough to allow for development
during the daylight hours.

Another deep cut off low is expected to move off the California
coast on Thursday, and begin ejecting more moisture and instability
into the region before crossing the Grand Canyon State through this
weekend. While timing and locations vary by model to model,
confidence is building in the potential for more precipitation to
occur through the end of the week and into at least the weekend
under this unstable flow.

This will be an extended period of cold and unsettled weather with
periods of snowfall likely. Stay tuned for the latest weather
updates and plan your holiday travels accordingly.

Someone please tell me why I brought my kayak on this trip????

For the same reason we dragged two bikes 3000 miles, and did not ride them once ?

I'm in that club. There is a set of weights holding the bathroom tile down. I have fitness clothes just to keep the drawers insulated. I have pushup thingies to keep things from moving around in my under bed storage. And I have resistance bands that haven't seen the light of day yet. But the eclair I just ate was heavenly. Four left, want one?

You should get some good practice with data coverage in fringe areas. Have not been to Page in a couple of years. Back then both ATT and Version coverage was spotty.

I was wondering about that as this is going to be one of my fringe locations on this trip along with Grand Canyon. I really wanted to buckle down and get some work done at Page, we'll see how the 3 carriers hold up and if needed I'll break out the Weboost RV 65 but don't think pointing that at null and void is going to help anything. So far this setup has rocked!!

There are so few towers up there all it takes is a small hill to knock out coverage in an area with an otherwise acceptable signal.
