 |
We decide to travel at a slower pace over to the train
station |
 |
where we are entertained by a wild west show |
 |
after which |
 |
we board the train for a trip up to the canyon |
 |
Boy what a view as we headed North. |
 |
Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Bill enjoying the ride |
 |
Hello everyone |
 |
The view from the rim literally takes away your
breath! |
 |
not only is it wide but it's DEEP! |
 |
looking down at the mule trail that leads down to the
phantom ranch. |
 |
It doesn't even look real does it. |
 |
Sarah looking across the expansive beauty of God's creation. |
 |
yet another view. |
 |
All this looking makes one hungry. |
 |
on the way back we are being entertained by a banjo
player when Suddenly-- |
 |
we find ourselves in the middle of a train robbery |
 |
which is quickly foiled by the sheriff |
 |
which made Sarah very happy. |
|
|
 |
Sarah checks the list as we prepare to leave Williams
Arizona for Rio Rancho New Mexico to visit |
 |
friends Al and Kay Messersmith |
| The next morning we head for Bill's home town of LaVeta
Colorado for an Ice Cream cone at Charlie's |
 |
| after which we went to Grandpa Bill's old farm where he
stopped to pet a goat |
 |
 |
Sarah decides she prefers mall walking to following Grandpa
through the weeds to his old |
 |
tree house |
| with a sigh of relief Sarah bids adieu to the old homestead |
 |
| for a quick visit to the house where her Grandma Jan grew up |
 |
| boy what a tiring day |
 |
| The next morning Fred checks out the view as we leave for
Denver |
