July 20, 2006 Escapees and Traveling On

We arrived in Hatch, Utah to attend a rally of our Escapees RV Club. There were about 50 units there. The main activity was driving on the back roads on either 4-wheel drive vehicles or ATV’s. Madeline and I took our little Tracker on several trips. We also led a group on a geocaching trip. There are many, many geocaches in the Hatch area. It was fun to meet old friends again and participate in group activities. There was lots of good food and good company

A high spot on the trip was a weekend visit by our daughter Diana. She spent one day 4-wheeling with us, and another day visiting Bryce Canyon.

We left Hatch and are headed east. We revisited Monument Valley, and are now in Pagosa Springs. We may stay here a few days and journey up into the San Juan Mountains. Or perhaps we will move over the other side of the divide to South Fork.

Hi, Dan and Madeline,
You sure have been going places! Greatly enjoyed all the pictures. I have been lax in keeping up with mine. I went back to the comments you made about my blog concerning the Iraq war. Today it seems we have an expanded war, and it is almost as if the middle east, especially Lebanon, is blowing apart. We went through Beirut back in 1968. What a beautiful, bustling city! How sad it was later to see all the bombed out buildings. But then later, they began rebuilding. Some of the beauty returned, and it seemed commerce would be going again. Now, I see the images of bombed out buildings, streets with no one on them, people wondering if another bomb will drop..... So I wrote another blog. Maybe we should go out, as you have, to see the old historic places, the beautiful places we have here. How wonderful to see the pictures! Yet, I still imagine.... what if a bomb were to drop there......? How can we keep this beautiful world from being blown apart? Duane
