No, that is not a can of beer in Norm’s hand. She would never drink a beer when she could have a V8! Leo wanted to go with us on our road trip to Pennsylvania, but he couldn’t find his riding boots or his helmet. We kept forgetting to get a balloon, so Norm madeContinue reading “Road trip…”

The Glenwood Canyon Resort park is a veryContinue reading “Bound for home…”

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…”
