This is the picture that got covered up in our first post this week. It is our son Mike's family on the night before they took their oldest daughter, Alyssa to orientation for Radical Journey. She will be going to Sweden for 10 months. Radical Journey is program sponsored by the Mennonite church.


Yesterday we got to Durango Colorado in the afternoon. We found a nice campground and got settled, then we went for a drive to see the countryside and the town. We grilled Iowa rib eye's for supper. Yum! Yum! We have been watching the weather channel a lot. As I am sure you all know, hurricane Ike has been on the minds of many. We may have to go to Texas next week.

Today we took a 3 1/2 hour jeep trail ride. It was not for scardy cats! We really enjoyed it but we hung on the side of the mountains many times. The jeep trip began in Silverton and we saw a lot of snow. I will try to add a few pictures.
