Logan wanted to ride the motorcycle with grandpa straight to the arcade where he could spend $20 worth of quarters and receive about 20 cents worth of prizes. :) :) :)

When Jacob and also Bev rode with me we came across this 40' boat that looks perfectly ready to sail sitting out in the middle of the desert.

Maybe he couldn't afford the fuel

Steffen and I spent quite a bit of time together on this trip. A lot of it was in nutritional development

Most of that with the Mexican kind

Melissa and Jacob awoke at 5:00 AM to wish me good-bye. Those are some pretty happy faces for having been wakened by my bustling around with all of my bags.

I'm heading to Yakima this nice cool morning so I stopped at the wild horse viewpoint for a couple of pics.

This sculpture has been here for at least 20 or 30 years.

Ten iron horses and a plastic one

From this vantage I can see the town of Vantage


On top of old smoky all covered with snow

The ride to Yakima went by pretty fast so I took the scenic way in the rest of the way.


When life throws you a curve, lean into it, not like this guy

There has been a lot of development in the canyon since my last visit. I think they call this a room with a view.

My old house on Midvail Lane has received a new fence.

For many years, this was a normal picture in my trip blogs, great to see it back!

You have to look real hard, but inside that car are a couple of waving hands just waiting for their turn to ride on the motorcycle

Even though it was a short ride, I think it was bringing back the feeling of freedom you get when riding a bike!

Shannon seems happy to have three days worth of food on one plate

That's her new big sister Rose, and past Rose is her very new little sister Lilly Mae

I'm sharing some of the nutritional secrets I learned while I was with Steffen

One big bite, and then.............

..............Brain Freeze!!!

Rose is getting her first motorcycle ride. I hope one of many

She said she likes peppermint ice cream. She must, she finished it without my help

Grandpa Ken with Lilly Mae who just turned 3 months.

Best friends forever!

Sherm and I decided to take a little trip to visit the  Wupatki National Monument NE of Flagstaff. It is estimated that these tribes were living here around 800 to 900 hundred years ago. It is kind of fun to walk around the ruins and try to imagine how they came up with a mortar to bind the rocks together into their pueblos. The guy just past those steps on the trail walked to the top of that hilltop pueblo. I on the otherhand took a very hard fall walking backward into those same steps trying to get a better shot of the building to the right in this picture. Three days later I am still stove up from the tumble. If you have really good eyes you can see that guy standing on the very top. They were using this very garden plot nine hundred years ago. Maybe not. Speculation has it that the circle area was used for games, rituals, and dancing. I'm still trying to figure out how they made the mortar. I don't think they had to look far for building rocks Sherm is getting all of the de...

She has carried me to many places and never a breakdown or even minor repair yet due to a factory issue. It was right here that it happened I'd wager that I'm not the only one to take a picture of this while rolling along. After enduring three days of 100* plus days and not thinking once to replenish my electrolytes, we arrived with me being as sick as I can remember in many years from heat exhaustion. I said my quick hello's and then headed to the rain locker to try and cool out. Even after four days, I am still trying to regain what little strength this old body still has.  When Sherm and I awoke the  next morning we took the CAR into Sturgis where I got some electrolytes to try and start my road to recovery. Replacing those had an almost immediate  effect on how I felt, but still a long way to go. Sherm heard that the Rapid City Powersports had a 900 Kawasaki that he thought he would like, he didn't. On the otherhand, I think these Vanderhall's are way cooler tha...

Quick stop in Kingman for tacos as I start my first trip of the year. Sherm gave me instructions for how to get to Pancho's but following those I arrived here which is not Pancho's. I have ridden over this bridge at least two times a year since it was built and I've always wanted to stop and use the walkway. I never seemed to have the time until this year. Now I'm a little worried about being able to climb to the top. Ugh! On the way up I needed to stop and rest so I took a picture so all of the other people climbing wouldn't think I was a wimp. Another rest stop. Hoover Dam. Lake Mead is still pretty low. A lot of horsepower of electricity is generated here. Looks like Arizona has a bridge to nowhere too! From the current water level to the top of the high water mark on those rocks is currently 154' From the walk way you can see the highway (I-11) as well as the dam. From the highway you can only see the pedestrians heads. The geologist or civil engineers did a...
