My Life and Travels
I spent some time working on vacation pictures getting them up on my website. I have a bunch of space at microsoft’s live.com so that is where I think I will put pictures for a while. I also have a bunch at a google site.

Today is the last day of the doing nothing part of vacation. Tomorrow morning it is up at 6:00 a.m. and on the road by 6:30. Should get home around 6:00 or 7:00 p.m.
Here is this evenings view,
I did not take view picture last night however here is a weather sat screen shot.
The blue area is where it is hailing. The heavy stuff went mostly around us. We have had great vacation and it is back to work on Monday at 6:30 a.m.
Turned out to be a sunny day. Big rain storm 6:30 a.m. to 8:00 and the rest of the day has been sunny with thunder storms way off in the distance.
Our view:
The dam taken during our morning walk.
This is the campground at the base of dam.
Oh, ya here is the walk.
This got my attention last night probably because of the Navy reunion I am going to next month. So far 32 people say they are going. This is group I was stationed with in DaNang from Oct 1971 – Nov 1972, ” a long time ago”.
I remember wanting to get out of the Navy because everything is structured and someone is ALWAYS telling you what to do. Oh, and when to do it, how long you can do it, that they are better than you. The air force has a recreation area right next to this park. This is a sign posted on a very nice covered picnic area.
I can think of lot better ways of saying this.
Moved north to get out of the rain.
Numbers for the day: drive time 13 hours, miles 616, left campsite at 6:30 a.m. arrived here at 7:45 p.m., 6 Hank pee stops, rained until 1:30 p.m., we are at North Shore site 18.

Hoping for two dry days, we will drive home from here on Saturday.
Short drive from Zion and we are in the open desert. THUNDER showers all afternoon raining hard right now. All of southern Utah has flash warnings.
It’s warm and things are good.
Hope you are having a good day.
Forgot to mention we have four bars of 4g, I have never had 4g with this phone. At home we don’t have 4g so in keep it shut off because the phone just uses up battery looking for something I can not get.
9:30 p.m. Home, it’s not hot here.
Camp site 14b
at a rest stop in Ontario, Oregon. This is our normal stopping point, 518 miles today and 536 tomorrow. It is still 87° here, A/C will be on for a while. Hank is smiling more in the cooler weather.
Last day of vacation – leave for home at 6:45 a.m.
We are in site 3 and it’s 95.
Current plan is stay here Thursday and leave here early Friday morning.
This is a water tower (?) built by CCC’s.
H B, Stine – have a nice day tomorrow and Saturday.
Didn’t do much today, I’m practicing. Hank and I got up at 5:15 local time and walked up to the boat launch and Lees Ferry buildings. I have pictures on my camera and while post some later.
