It was 7 miles round trip on an "EASY" trail. If that was an easy trail, I would hate to see a hard trail. I was so worried that I would have to carry at least one of them out. As it turns out, Ginger out hiked all of us. This is in the red rocks of Sedona.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Wv4UYi-yVGs/SPImiK2eeqI/AAAAAAAAAtk/AMry6nXj8Fs/s1600-h/048.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256306083565042338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Wv4UYi-yVGs/SPImiK2eeqI/AAAAAAAAAtk/AMry6nXj8Fs/s320/048.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This is where I stopped. It was straight up. My knee just couldn't take it. And we were almost there. While I waited, I helped other hikers up, and some of them didn't make it and came back down rather quickly! It was a tough hike.

Jennifer and I lost by 2 points. Then Joshua and I played 3 games. We each won one and then he won the last game by 2 points. Joshua is getting very good. He even beat his Dad.  My reign is over.

Right?  Anyway, we were all playing cut-throat, and she won, fair &amp;amp; square.  She also won all the board games and 18 out of 20 blackjack games.  She went home a winner.  It's funny.  We just had her for a day, and I was exhausted.  Then I read on Tami's blog that all 30 cousins were at the park at one time.  WOW.  How can an old man like me keep up with 30 kids?  How does Ken do it?

It was awesome.  We also saw the Crazy Horse Memorial which is in the progress of being sculpted in another mountain. Only Crazy Horse's head is completed after 50 years but it will be bigger than Mount Rushmore when completed.  That is hard to imagine since Mount Rushmore is pretty large.  We drove through Custer State Park on the pigtail roads (Ginger was scared) and yes we again saw more bison (Ginger was happy).  It rained the morning that we left for Estes Park, Colorado. It stopped while we packed everything us so we did not get wet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4750724455418083962-7686954407866765938?l=uncle-grandpa-john.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uncle-grandpa-john.blogspot.com/feeds/7686954407866765938/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4750724455418083962&amp;postID=7686954407866765938' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4750724455418083962/posts/default/7686954407866765938'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4750724455418083962/posts/default/7686954407866765938'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uncle-grandpa-john.blogspot.com/2008/06/catch-up-time.html' title='Catch Up Time'/><author><name>John</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18249146974390376388</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_Wv4UYi-yVGs/RprJU0zULTI/AAAAAAAAAEg/gdHeruBRG7g/s200/John.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wv4UYi-yVGs/SFcSvyDzzZI/AAAAAAAAAeE/X7iXA7RJDHg/s72-c/IMG_0004+Tunnel.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750724455418083962.post-5040647754901189639</id><published>2008-06-12T16:04:00.003-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-12T16:17:22.852-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Finally got to Cody</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Wv4UYi-yVGs/SFGsAOproSI/AAAAAAAAAd0/gtNyykM9XAU/s1600-h/IMG_0008.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211135363777274146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Wv4UYi-yVGs/SFGsAOproSI/AAAAAAAAAd0/gtNyykM9XAU/s400/IMG_0008.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Yep, we have to share the road with the bison.  We got out of Yellowstone this morning.  Just in time as another storm was moving in. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Wv4UYi-yVGs/SFGsAq8sOPI/AAAAAAAAAd8/bwy-Ac4DDSk/s1600-h/IMG_0102.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211135371373197554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Wv4UYi-yVGs/SFGsAq8sOPI/AAAAAAAAAd8/bwy-Ac4DDSk/s400/IMG_0102.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This is what we went through the get out.  At one of the passes, there was 1 1/2 lanes because of snow.  And another motorhome was coming up as I was going down.  There was not room for both of us and we were on the outside lane at 9000 feet!  Since I didn't want Ginger in my lap, I sped up and we got there just in time to get pass the narrow part.  Got to Cody and Ginger had the biggest T-Bone steak I've ever seen.  It's because she has lost so much weight and deserved a treat!  I didn't get one so you know I've been bad! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4750724455418083962-5040647754901189639?l=uncle-grandpa-john.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uncle-grandpa-john.blogspot.com/feeds/5040647754901189639/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4750724455418083962&amp;postID=5040647754901189639' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4750724455418083962/posts/default/5040647754901189639'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4750724455418083962/posts/default/5040647754901189639'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uncle-grandpa-john.blogspot.com/2008/06/finally-got-to-cody.html' title='Finally got to Cody'/><author><name>John</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18249146974390376388</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_Wv4UYi-yVGs/RprJU0zULTI/AAAAAAAAAEg/gdHeruBRG7g/s200/John.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Wv4UYi-yVGs/SFGsAOproSI/AAAAAAAAAd0/gtNyykM9XAU/s72-c/IMG_0008.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750724455418083962.post-7744272148774372371</id><published>2008-06-11T11:40:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-11T11:46:13.287-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Guess What?

We spent 5 hours driving in the rain to get to this place just outside Jackson, Wyoming, without a problem. When we got here, it had stopped raining and the sun was shining.  We got to set up the camp without getting soaked.  We have NO TV!!!!  I guess we will have to commune with nature.  I wonder how one does that!    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4750724455418083962-4543824269042161515?l=uncle-grandpa-john.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uncle-grandpa-john.blogspot.com/feeds/4543824269042161515/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4750724455418083962&amp;postID=4543824269042161515' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4750724455418083962/posts/default/4543824269042161515'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4750724455418083962/posts/default/4543824269042161515'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uncle-grandpa-john.blogspot.com/2008/06/we-made-it.html' title='We made it!'/><author><name>John</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18249146974390376388</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_Wv4UYi-yVGs/RprJU0zULTI/AAAAAAAAAEg/gdHeruBRG7g/s200/John.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Wv4UYi-yVGs/SEnI9ugwz-I/AAAAAAAAAdE/ZuSrMkKGG5U/s72-c/IMG_0024.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750724455418083962.post-6264544716012280621</id><published>2008-06-05T19:06:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-05T19:20:05.424-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Cloud Saga Continues</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wv4UYi-yVGs/SEicOFQ-nkI/AAAAAAAAAcs/4FnC0VgS7XI/s1600-h/IMG_0008.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208584734799470146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wv4UYi-yVGs/SEicOFQ-nkI/AAAAAAAAAcs/4FnC0VgS7XI/s400/IMG_0008.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This is what we went through to get to Salt Lake City.

I  couldn't concentrate. &lt;br /&gt;Then I worked in the woods as a Lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the axe.    &lt;br /&gt;After that, I tried to be a Tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it--mainly because it was a sew-sew job. &lt;br /&gt;Next, I tried working in a Muffler Factory, but that was too exhausting.  &lt;br /&gt;Then, I tried to be a Chef - figured it would add a little spice to my life, but I just didn't have the thyme.  &lt;br /&gt;I attempted to be a Deli Worker, but any way I sliced it I couldn't cut the mustard.  &lt;br /&gt;My best job was a Musician, but eventually I found I wasn't noteworthy. &lt;br /&gt;I studied a long time to become a Doctor, but I didn't have any patience.    &lt;br /&gt;Next was a job in a Shoe Factory. I tried but I just didn't fit in. &lt;br /&gt;I became a Professional Fisherman, but discovered that I couldn't live on my net income.  &lt;br /&gt;I managed to get a good job working for a Pool Maintenance Company, but it was just too draining. &lt;br /&gt;So then I got a job in a Workout Center , but they said I wasn't fit for the job. &lt;br /&gt;I finally got a job as a Historian - until I realized there was no future in it.  &lt;br /&gt;My last job was working in Starbucks, but I had to quit because it was always the same old grind.                               &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SOOOOOOO.....                            &lt;br /&gt;I TRIED RETIREMENT AND FOUND THAT I'M PERFECT FOR THE JOB.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4750724455418083962-476107296643041887?l=uncle-grandpa-john.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uncle-grandpa-john.blogspot.com/feeds/476107296643041887/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4750724455418083962&amp;postID=476107296643041887' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4750724455418083962/posts/default/476107296643041887'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4750724455418083962/posts/default/476107296643041887'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uncle-grandpa-john.blogspot.com/2008/04/can-you-find-all-of-play-on-words.html' title='Can you find ALL of the &quot;Play on Words&quot;????'/><author><name>John</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18249146974390376388</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_Wv4UYi-yVGs/RprJU0zULTI/AAAAAAAAAEg/gdHeruBRG7g/s200/John.JPG'/></author><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750724455418083962.post-4400845182844770059</id><published>2008-03-15T09:30:00.005-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-15T09:41:36.718-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Yep, Someone is always working on a project over here!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wv4UYi-yVGs/R9v6MH42c3I/AAAAAAAAAbE/73rHL0IwVzU/s1600-h/010.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178007282775389042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wv4UYi-yVGs/R9v6MH42c3I/AAAAAAAAAbE/73rHL0IwVzU/s320/010.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Justin followed some very bad pictures on how to put this car together and built this in about 3 hours.

It's been about 7 weeks. A long time. Sorry I haven't been commenting on blogs lately. I have tried to keep up with all your accomplishments. Wow! All the kids have been doing GREAT! Keep it up. While I was sick, I put a wooden floor in our living room. I would put one row in, lay down for 1/2 hour, and get up and do another row. Took me 2 weeks to do the job. Glad to say it is now done. Of course, Ginger has more plans for me now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4750724455418083962-4515609112667640471?l=uncle-grandpa-john.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uncle-grandpa-john.blogspot.com/feeds/4515609112667640471/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4750724455418083962&amp;postID=4515609112667640471' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4750724455418083962/posts/default/4515609112667640471'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4750724455418083962/posts/default/4515609112667640471'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uncle-grandpa-john.blogspot.com/2008/02/welcome-to-my-boring-life.html' title='Welcome to my boring life'/><author><name>John</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18249146974390376388</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_Wv4UYi-yVGs/RprJU0zULTI/AAAAAAAAAEg/gdHeruBRG7g/s200/John.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Wv4UYi-yVGs/R8SaG0oFjOI/AAAAAAAAAaE/U_D1srHmNpU/s72-c/054John+taking+out+carpet.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750724455418083962.post-2728253909032391151</id><published>2008-02-14T11:03:00.003-07:00</published><updated>2008-02-14T11:07:25.946-07:00</updated><title type='text'>FYI  Sick Again</title><content type='html'>Well, I guess I wasn't over being sick, and then I worked REALLY hard 3 days in a row, and I guess I ran myself down and now I have a bad cold.

They always catch the second person.   &lt;br /&gt;4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.   &lt;br /&gt;5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.   &lt;br /&gt;6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.   &lt;br /&gt;7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.   &lt;br /&gt;8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.   &lt;br /&gt;9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.   &lt;br /&gt;10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Growing up is mandatory; growing old is optional.   &lt;br /&gt;2) Forget the health food.
