This Indy car is from the fortieth running of the Indianapolis 500 race. A fellow from Oklahoma won in this car.The 2 upper outlaws look like they don’t have a clue. I think Norm looks a bit better then I do, but neither of us look as bad as the fellow in the lower right.Continue reading “Oklahoma History Center….”

Our rig kind of looks out of place parked in a full hook up site. I’m not sure we got our fifty-six dollars worth for the one night we stayed, but right behind me are the showers and we did get our monies worth out of them. The Glenwood Canyon Resort park is a veryContinue reading “Bound for home…”

Norm tells me that is a long, long way to the bottom. I believe her. Norm took this shot with me having a death grip on her waist line. This, and the photo above was taken from a place called “Exclamation Point.” I’m sure that there is a variety of exclamation’s when you first lookContinue reading “North Rim trail…”

This photo and the next are from the drive on highway 92. There are two reservoirs on the way to the north rim, the Gould and the Crawford. These series of photographs are still from our driving tour of the north rim sites. Two from our drive to Crawford. We saw all of three carsContinue reading “North Rim, 2”

Some of these views are from the drive to the north rim by way of back tracking on highway 50 east bound, and than turning north on to highway 92. Highway 92 is a great drive with the maximum speed being around thirty miles per hour. Lot’s of twists and turns. Norm had to takeContinue reading “North Rim…”

Here is Norm on one of our last rest stops prior to collapsing in the truck and drinking all the water we had. These next series of photographs are from our drive around the south rim route to complete our visit here in the south, and head toward the north rim. Some how I foundContinue reading “We made it…”

Okay, here we are climbing back up the 80 ft. chain. Dave is making it look like a piece of cake. Me on the other hand, am making it look and sound, not a very lady like sound either, as hard as it really was. I’m telling you folks, this was probably the hardest thingContinue reading “The Chain! Norm here…”

This is just part of the trail, no signs or posts, just piles of rocks to point the way. There is a trail here, you just cannot see it real clear. I have probably done harder things in my life, survival and POW school in the military, Norm making me run five and ten KContinue reading “The Trail….”

The person you can barely see is Norm, she is not sure if going down or going up was the worst part. This is the Gunnision river taken from the bank. We could hardly imagine carrying camping and fishing gear down the “trail” we just came down. This is the most popular unmaintained route toContinue reading “The Gunnison Route…South Rim…”
