We left Memphis this morning.

Went onto Nashville & the Country Music

Hall of fame.

                                                    can you believe we spent 3 hours here !

                                              they had old films and lots of history to read

                                                        and lots of wild clothes to see.

                                            these Gold records are 2 stories high & on both sides
                                            of the wall & twice as wide.

                                          We left Nashville around 4 stopped to eat and now I'm
                                          ready to sleep in my own bed.  It was a wonderful 26 days
                                          Just seeing God's creation was worth the 6000 miles we
                                          put on the car. Well good bye all and thanks for following us.

Today we started out from Yukon, OK 

Beautiful sunrise. Sorry, no pics on the drive.

I left my chip in my computer :(

We stopped in Kinta, OK To see our friends

Les & Iris Feldick.  Fran asked him all about his

ranch.  I think he said they have 700 acres .

They're ready to ship 200 calves to another ranch

so his son is very busy.

Les & Iris

The office is right next to their house & we met the girls
who take orders for his tapes & books.

standing on their deck. It's amazing that he takes the time to sit
and talk to all the visitors they get.

If you have time check him out on the internet. just type in
Les Feldick & it will come up.

We stayed about an hour & then drove onto Memphis.
Spending the night here & then tomorrow we will see if Elvis is alive !!!! 

                                 

This morning  while in Albuquerque we took a tram ride

It went from 4000 ft. to 10500 ft.

                                                              that's the city below

                                                                  up, up, up!!

                                                        over the second mountain

                                             you could see  pieces of an airplane that crashed
                                                        in the 50's

                                          at the top a nice couple from Scotland took our pic.

                                           never expected to see dinosaurs at the gas station !

                                          We're in OK tonight. tomorrow we'll stop and see

                                          Les & Iris Feldick ( Les is on tv & radio "Thru the Bible"

                                          We're heading home & have a few more stops.

As you can see, we got an early start this morning.

                                          We came upon Meteor Crater. What a splendid find!

                                           This is the largest visible crater in the USA

                                          the largest meteor crater is the Chesapeake Bay 

                                     

                                           You can't see it. neither could I but there is a building
                                            down there.

                                          Our guide is Navajo, his grandfather was a Navajo
                                           translator in WWII.

   

                                            I can't believe I walked  out on that rim.

                                         The crater is a mile wide. We only walked 1/2 mile
                                                                         around

                                            Saturday they had 3 inches of rain. the flowers
                                            bloomed this morning. God is Good!

                                       
                                                 Some people told us to stop in Winslow AZ.

                                               a group called the Eagles used it in a song              
                                                   "take it easy"

                                              one of many beautiful mountains on our way
                                               to Albuquerque NM

                   
                                            We're spending the night here. And will sightsee
                                                    tomorrow.

We made it to Hoover Dam !

                                                           bridge over the Dam.

                                                         Hoover Dam. the water is really low

                                       
                                                                  TOURIST!!!!

                                         
                                                                    Lake Mead

                                                 those pesty  tourist , always gawking !

                                                    views  from  the bridge

         
                                            Okay Clay, here's proof that we went to Las Vegas

                                             We had a great day , went to Route 66 museum 

                                             then to Hoover & Vegas.  We wanted to go to the

                                             skywalk over grand canyon but it cost $100.00.

                                                

                                              Tomorrow we head for Albuquerque, NM

                                             We're probably the only people to go to Vegas 

                                              and not get out of our car.  

We're in Kingman AZ.  Route 66.

Went to Grand Canyon today. Words

can't describe it. Evidently pictures can't either.

I left my battery charger with battery for my camera 

at the hotel.

I'll buy a new one tomorrow.

                                     
                                          Tomorrow we'll do the west side & go on the
                                           sky walk.  We drove 5 hours from the south end
                                           and have another 2 to go to reach the west.
                                         I told you it was  Awesome !!!!  How can anyone
                                            not believe in an Almighty God.

Well we're in Durango, where the wild west 

was won.  Or was that Silverton  ? Whatever

Wyatt Earp & Bat Masterson etc. were here

and years later Shawn White (snowboarder)

trained here.  Now I have been here, but I doubt 

I'll make history.

                                            we took the narrow gauge train from Durango to
                                            Silverton. Lots a nice scenery.

                                                    this is Silverton built in 1860

                                           Another ride on a train.  I'm enjoying it.

                                          Fran & I have been up & down and around & around
                                             I wouldn't travel here in the winter!

                                          Tomorrow we have to get our oil changed. and then on to
                                           Grand Canyon.

Hit the road again this morning.

Sooooo   pretty!

                                             We went to Gunnison Co. Stopped @ Pioneer museum

                                                    How do you like these gas lights?
                                                

                                              This picture was in an album. I think it looks like
                                                       a friend named Valarie Bumby

                                                I loved this original 13 star flag

                                            they had the biggest display of antique clothing that 
                                                        I have ever seen

                                                 I LOVED THIS LITTLE BOYS SUIT

                                                        Fran got to see his trains & cars

                                               I thought my horse friends would like this
                                             the hats have the pictures of the owners on them

 

                                              We stopped in this cute town. OURAY CO 

                                             We were 10,000 ft  up & no guard rails !!!!!!            

                                                  Some more Aspens . Yes, they are trees !

                                           Fran looking back @ the road we just came up

                                                             It's very pretty, isn't it?

                                             We are now in Durango. Train ride to Silverton 
                                                       tomorrow.
