YATTTR
(Yet Another Trip To The Ranch)!!! We had a great time up north (Apr
22-25), and we brought Lisa too. The trip up and back was painfully
slow, because the suburban would only do between 20-30 mph on the
up-hills. I really need to get that beast to the shop, since I can't
figure out what is wrong with it. Other than that, we had fun. We had a
spaghetti dinner (like we do every time) with the Namkungs and Ron and
Sherry, lots of campfires, a few shooting sessions, and several games
of UNO. And oh yes, trailer rides. In fact, while I was giving the kids
a trailer ride, I snapped a shock on the truck (that's another thing I
have to fix).
The picture to the left is at the end of a hike.
This is yet another flowing well, about 8 miles or so west of the New
Mexico line (between our place and New Mexico). I'm sure glad that we
hiked all that way to see this nice pipe sticking out of the ground...

This was another hike. This time to Purcell well. The kids that are not mine are the Namkungs (neighbor kids).

This
picture was taken in Carrizo Wash. An amazing amount of sand had piled
up, and we were having fun goofing around in it (this was on the way to
the flowing well, above). The kids even made sand angels.

Back
at the flowing well. We all hike through a marsh (created by the well)
to get here, and we all had muck coated feet. In fact, Button even lost
a shoe in the muck (I had to trudge out into the muck to retrieve his
shoe).
