The Grand Canyon



On the trip from Colorado too Mesa, Arizona we stopped at the Grand Canyon for one day. We walked along the Rim Trail and took this classic picture of the canyon.

Colorado Fall Colors





We have left Colorado before winter starts. We have not posted any thing this summer because I was busy fishing in the Arkansas River Valley. Before leaving Chalk Creek we did see a lot of leaves changing color. The above picture was taken at MT Elbert Forebay, I was fishing the lake and Sandi walked the dogs around the lake while taking pictures.

On the Road Again




We are on the road again. Yeah!!! We left Nathrop on Oct 4th and journeyed to Denver to do things like the ritual doctor, dentist, house, vehicles etc appointments.
Then we headed to Elizabeth, CO for a fun halloween campout with the Rocky Explorers which is our camping chapter of FCRV. We decorated a shelter with spooky things like ghosts, spiders, rats, witches etc. Then we decorated our own rigs, decorated or carved pumpkins, played all kinds of games, bobbed for apples, ate wierd food like puke and snot (cashew chicken), drank fluids like urine (apple cider), ate a cemetary (cake with cookies), dressed in costumes and went trick and/or treating. We had contests for the best rig decorated, the best costume, the best pumpkin etc. We gave away alot of prizes including anyone who just participated, so no one was left out. The kids had a great time and they got to celebrate Halloween twice. A good time was had by all.
Our next stop will be Colorado Springs to visit with family before we head south for the winter.
