Apache Trail, unpaved

This is the road where it drops down to Fish Creek. Pretty narrow and a single lane bridge at the bottom. Both of these look better (a little) if you watch them in HD (change the resolution down in the lower right).

Driving the Apache Trail

We drove the Apache Trail (Arizona 88) between Apache Junction and Lake Roosevelt last night. Fantastic road and lots to see. I want to come back and do the paved section on my motorcycle......

Another?

Here's another one (in HD this time) since that seems to work.....

Videos?

Not sure if this will work, but I'll try embedding a Youtube video I took:

Simon Canyon

We hiked into Simon Canyon Ruin with Mom & Dad yesterday. We were driving to Farmington and passing by when Dad remembered hearing about it and we decided to check it out. Easy hike and a really cool ruin on top of a huge boulder. There was a rope attached to the top on the back side that made for an 'exciting' climb to the top for a few of us.

What lies beneath.....

Took Mom & Dad and the kids over to Willow Creek this afternoon to watch the salmon run. I was trying out a new mount I made for the waterproof case for the ContourGPS camera we just got at work. I thought I was recording video but had it set to still photos by mistake. Here's one....

She's climbing the walls!

Jenni sent me these this morning from her cell phone. Apparently Sara can't get on FB until she gets to Xian so this will have to do for now.
She said the weather was fantastic and they followed the Wall climb with a acrobat show (the circus kind, not the software kind).

She made it!

Got an email from the wife, she and Jenni made it to Beijing safely. I imagine she is climbing the Wall by now.....

It's a big day.

Sara leaves to begin her research in Chinese toiletry. From the little bit of investigating I've done, this would appear to be a particularly sanitary example. We will miss her terribly!












A couple items I've noticed are missing: DOORS, and Toilet Paper......
