My dad lives in New Mexico. We brought Christine with us and dropped her off with them so she could visit with them while Dave and I continued on to Arizona.
We visited the Anasazi ruins of the cliff dwellers. It was awesome.
We visited a cemetary in Price, UT where Dave's ancestors helped to settle the towns there.
On the way back, we tried to visit four corners monument, but it was closed due to construction. Many travellers were disappointed.
We hiked up to Delicate Arch. It was about 103 degrees. I thought Christine and I were going to have a heat stroke! Seriously!
We were recording pieces for Dave's new 6 Hymns in 6 Days lessons. It was fun, even though everyone was looking at us funny!
Then we visited Dead Horse Point. It is called that because in the old days, they used to herd the horses up on the plateau. They would gather the best horses, and leave the others there to die... within view of the Colorado River below. Sad.
By then, it was beginning to get dark, so we continued home. There was a wonderful thunder storm. Little did we know that behind us, that wonderful storm turned into two tornadoes in Price, UT!"Missed it by THAT much!"
