Day 19 Grand Canyon part 2

Day 19

Well, day 2 at the Grand Canyon began with a bang. I woke up dizzy again and really couldn’t do much of anything so I drank a bunch of water, ate some cereal, and laid back down. I felt better after resting again . So we got ready and the 3 of us got in the truck and went back to the Grand Canyon. This time we were going on the desert view which is on the East Rim. The views were staggering. This was a driving tour so there were pull outs at various spots. The first time we stopped we decided to let Moe go too. Well that was a mistake. He was way too excited with all the sights and smells. He was pulling Joe so badly that we had to put him back in the truck. We made it work by each of us taking a turn to take pictures while the other stayed with Moe. It was beautiful, but what made our day was we finally got to see a critter when driving back to the entrance. It was a beautiful elk. Made our day because the only critters we have seen are cattle, deer, and donkeys. Tomorrow we go to see our friends. We had to change plans because they may have been exposed to Covid. I’m posting some more pictures. 



 These crows were not afraid of me. Just let me take their picture.






 Notice the Colorado River. The ranger said the River was flowing about 25 mph
and it had 10’ waves at some locations

Day 8 Fun with family

Day 8 Joe informed me that my days were off by one. Oh well, I’ve told you everything I needed to say so I’m continuing with the day I’m on.😊 Today was a fun day with family. Went over to Chuck and Marilyn’s house for breakfast . She’s such a good cook. We had fruit, quiche, and blueberry muffins. Delicious. They have remodeled their house since we were here last. Looks beautiful. My niece and her family came over for lunch. It was great seeing my niece Brandi, and my great niece Margaret. We were also celebrating Brandon’s ((Brandi’s husband) birthday. Marilyn cooked a shrimp boil. Have never had that. You put a lot of things together in a pot and cook. She had corn on the cob, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and onions. It was very good. Then time for luscious desserts. My great niece made homemade key lime pie, my favorite. Brandon made a homemade blackberry pie. Ice cream and brownies as well. Needless to say I only had a small salad for dinner. In the middle of all this eating ...

Day 27...Yellowstone

Day 27-Yellowstone  Day 27- Yellowstone Well we have no cell or internet so I haven’t been able to post this in a timely manner. Hopefully, we’ll find someplace tomorrow with good cell service or wi-fi. So today was full of adventure . We woke up early to head out to see the sight. The first place we visited was the West Thumb Geyser Basin. What a sight to behold. All this places in the ground with bubbling water/mud . It is so unreal to think about all that’s going on below the service. Got good pictures. Our purpose today was to see critters. Supposedly they are to be found in the Hayden Valley and the Lamar Valley. Hayden is known for its bison and Lamar is known for grizzlies, bears, wolves and other critters. We were not disappointed in Hayden . We saw all kinds of buffalo and got some decent pictures. We also went to the Mud Volcano and it is as it’s name implies. Hot, hot bu...

Day 16 Standing on the Corner

Day 16 Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers in FB land. Hope you all had a great day. Joe and I had a different and fun celebration. We are staying in Homolovi State Park which is Hopi Indian land. There are two main archeological sites. Currently there are not digs going on but we hiked to two of the sites. They have uncovered  two Pueblo’s  (villages) which were fascinating. They have uncovered several rooms and even a kiva (religious room). There were plenty of pottery shards that have been found. There have been vandals here so now it’s a crime to take stuff. There are signs all over the place. Anyway, between the 2 hikes we probably walked a mile or so. It was hot and we were climbing up on a Mesa so we were winded. I have been drinking lots of water so I think i’m doing better with regards to dehydration. After the hikes, we went to downtown Winslow and got pictures at the “Standing On The Corn...
