Our trip out West~ July.2010

"Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living."~Miriam Beard

A realization...

While at the Grand Canyon...a dead body was rescued from an overlook we were at

While in the Tetons.....sixteen hikers were struck by lightning and had to be rescued off the mountain...one hiker died, one was never found

The night after we left Yellowstone.....a grizzly bear attacks three people in the middle of the night, killing one

YIKES!!! Happy to be coming home safe and sound.

  1. I don't know what happened, but apparently I forgot to keep up with your blog after like the first three or four! So, I just read up on the rest of them and I must say I am very jealous of your trip! I'm sitting here thinking, I didn't even know about some of these places and isn't that sad that an American doesn't know all about her country while all these foreign tourists are visiting these beautiful spots! What's funny is I have traveled twice across country, and even camped out for a month for one of those stints, but haven't gotten to see any of the sites you spoke of! I hope one day I do get to! And when that time comes, I will be coming to you to ask for your advice and possibly draw out of a map of where I should go! Thanks for the wonderful stories. You're well on your way to writing that book of your life we always said you should!
