Crashing At Kim's
The past two days have been filled with much activity, so much that I neglected to write anything for my blog entries... already falling behind what I had originally set out to do, which is write a bit every day. I will try again... but am making ...
Quartzsite
Another couple of days of mooching, hiking, grocery shopping, reading, soaking in the hot tub, swimming, reading, sewing - we really are getting into the swing of things! For the moment we are really enjoing the lack of a schedule. I'm ...
Going to Mooney Falls
We had traveled to this place in the Grand Canyon, this place nearly 600 miles from home, because of a picture in a magazine. That picture, the whole reason we were here, was of Mooney Falls. On the second day of our trip, we set ...
The Dramatic Conclusion
... clearly fatigued. As we made the trip uphill in the sand, through the village, beside the stream, across the valley, into the canyon, past the flat rock, on the red clay, to the base of the switchbacks which led to the hilltop, ...
Entering the Village
After walking through the narrow part of the canyon, we were both tired, and the day was getting increasingly hotter, forcing us to rest more frequently. After about six miles, the canyon widened and we were much more exposed to ...
The Planning Session
The majority held that we'd bitten off more than we could chew. Minneapolis to Yellowstone is a 1,030 mile trip, the last few hours of which track through still-snowy switchback mountain roads littered with fallen rocks and bison. (The bison have rarely ...
The Hike to Beaver Falls
The trail to Beaver Falls was unexpected. It was quite unlike the trail we had followed into the campground. Instead of dry shrubs and cacti, we were hiking through thick wild grapevines that sometimes extended far above our ...
The Climb Down
I slowly, one step at a time, descended like a rock climber. As I reached the bottom I looked up to see Andrew concentrating on his foot and hand holds as he worked his way down. Some areas of the climb down were certainly made for people with longer ...
Trails End, and the Companies of Men Must Part
One of the greatest things about traveling is how slow time seems to move. A lot of my parents' complaints about things moving so quickly has a lot to do with a particular combination of busy-ness and routine that occupies the mind without really ...
Golden Canyon to Artist Palette
PLEASE VIEW THIS BLOG BY CLICKING ON THE INDIVIDUAL PICTURES USING THE SLIDE SHOW OPTION SO THAT YOU CAN ENJOY THE CAPTIONS! QUOTE FOR THE DAY: "This colorful and rugged terrain shoots tales of cataclysmic forces that thrust rock layers upward and ...
Day Minus 12
It's day minus 12 and we are getting ready for our journey to the Cradle of Love Baby Home in Usa River, Tanzania. Tom created this travelogue so that we can keep family and friends updated on a regular basis. We'll take lots of ...
Reflecting
As we packed up that night so that we would be ready to leave early in the morning, I started thinking about the quirky memories I would have from this trip. I thought about Andrew, looking like a prospector with a teenage girl's backpack ...
Havasu Falls
Later that evening, we carried our sore bodies, now much lighter without the weight of the packs, up the hill to Havasu Falls, the destination of campers young and old alike. At first we watched - young kids sitting along the ...
Setting Up Camp
After leaving the village, we knew we were close to - within two miles of - the campground. Even though we had this to look forward to, the final two miles were brutal. The sun, which was now directly overhead, and the sand, like ...
After the Switchbacks
The long, rocky downhill of the switchbacks didn't last more than a mile or two before we had reached flatter land. Glancing back up to the parking lot, it seemed unimaginable that we had walked down what now looked like a sheer cliff. Not only was the ...
Admiring the Shade
It is necessary to take a moment to acknowledge shade, which generally loses all of its glory to its more desirable and generally more sought-after counterpart, sunlight. Shade became our lifeline in the Havasupai region. ...
Home of Mark Mastro & Mary
... ; They were home and up for company so we took a quick detour to Golden Valley, Minnesota. Our traveling companion "Gar" took us straight to there... (God knows the GPS is an invention that has ...
