What a great day! We are all so thankful Roger and Mary Berry! Amazing hosts to our chaotic clan. It was an incredible day. The weather started raining, cool, and cloudy.

However, having been I’m pretty confident that we’ll return. We started the morning with a visit to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.  Home of the ultimate […]

Over a wooden bridge there was a sign with lots of safety type information, a […]

Day 3

We are all laying in bed now, watching the Blackhawks, sipping those beverages we brought along, all absolutely exhausted. At least I am. As sore as my legs and back are, it is my mind that is just done for the day. We hiked a mountain today. A real mountain! All the way to the […]
