Outta Town

Playing Top Gun sand volleyball in Flagstaff AZ last July. Elevation 7000 feet. A summer monsoon rolls in. Temp drops from 70 degrees to about 45, wind, rain. We play through rain. Then small hail. We play on. Then big hail and thunder. Get off courts and under canopies. Then lightning hits about 1/4 mile away. Run for the safety of the athletic building. Finish play in light rain after lightning passes.

April 2005. Rocky Point Mexico. Day before tournament, 75 degrees, calm ocean, beautiful day on the beach. Day of tournament, 50 mph winds, maybe 60 degree temps, huge waves crashing with some even washing up part way through 3 of 12 courts.
The ultimate beach volleyball tournament just to try handling a ball.
Next day, calm sea, no waves, 75 degree temps again.
