Capitol Reef National Park

I planned another road trip.  My Dad liked the plan and here we go - getting out of the haze and headed for the sun.

Here's me and my Dad.  He just had back surgery, but he knows how much I love to explore and study maps and listen to music...your basic road tripping.  We stopped at every historical site, pull-out, trail heads, etc.

This is an old Fruita, Utah farmhouse we explored.

Hiking into the Grand Wash.

Love caves.

Funny!  From here we spent the night in Torrey, Utah at a nice hotel with a swimming pool and a hot tub.  We ate at a local pizza joint - of course I ordered the pepperoni pizza, my favorite.

Another beautiful sunny day.  Now we are headed out to see the Petroglyph Wall.

Looking through binoculars at the drawings of ancient aliens...

Cathedral Valley.  We missed the turn-off because there isn't a sign when you are headed east - and we turned around and went back 17 miles to make sure I saw the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Moon.  These were the 2 things I wanted to see the most that I drew on my map.  Thanks, Dad.

Here we have...The Temple of the Sun.

This is The Temple of the Moon.  Right now I'm planning the next trip.  I want to go to Alaska or go on another ghost tour of the Queen Mary.  

Success!

Finally! I Have Been Set Up For Days...

Here we all are...with bells on.

....OK, GO
Thank You So Much!!  Stellar 

Start Me UP, Again, Already!

Another wonder-full day at City of Rocks.

A storm was moving in.

This dog picked me to hide out the storm under.  I loved it.

Finally, we had to pick a little cave to hide out in until the storm passed.  I loved it.

I Had A Birthday. 21st

Yes, I turned 21.  I had a fun party and everyone got me either a Dora toy or Little People.  See my niece clapping in the lower left corner??  That's because every toy I got is one that she REALLY wanted.

Climbing Lessons...in the City

The Crew; Karmen, Action Jaxson, Tricie, Parker, Kimmer, and Joe - Leslie, Marshall, and Nicole are on the ground.

Who is this with the much improved climbing form?? It's Me.

I'm loving it.

OK, this means ' enough' and 'down'.

Thanks, Marshall. You're the BEST.

Mother and Daughter

I've got you, no worries.

....and this is how we do it.

Patrice doesn't even seem nervous...and she wasn't, she's a natural.

There she is! WAY up there...a tiny speck.

....even tinier.

This is 'Action Jackson'.

First time on rock and he was fearless!

First step, teach Jaxson that we weren't surfing...after that it was all up hill.

I don't know if he would be a better surfer or climber!

Mom, can we have a dog? Please, please, please.

My favorite Nephew and baby Karmens' arms...who I rescued in the other picture.

Ahhhh, here's the girl.

Fun at the Emery Pass Spring. The BEST water on earth.

Bye, bye. We'll be back soon.
