Day 6 June 1, 2009

Monday, June 1st, 2009

We left Cheyenne, WY this morning and had a beautiful ride to Denver with no rain!  We managed to get a few more pictures for the contest.  As we rode south we could see the Rockies off in the distance.  

Denver has a beautiful sky line.  And as soon as we left the city limits we were in the Rocky Mountains.  We hadn’t traveled more than a few… Continue reading

Another day of rain.  I think I’m growing gills.  It was 38 degrees when we left Frisco at 10:30 a.m.

We spent last night at a very nice Best Western in Frisco, CO.  Every night we’ve had the most comfortable rooms, and this was no exception.  I got my dog fix there as well.  The manager had 2 beautiful German Shepherds there in his office and I got to… Continue reading

Technical difficulties

We’ve gotten a couple of emails from people saying they aren’t able to make comments here on the blog.  My technical advisor/geek sister has figured out the problem and corrected it.   We’re looking forward to hearing from all of you!   s… Continue reading

It was so good to wake up to sunshine this morning.  It’s wasn’t warm .. but it wasn’t raining.  You can’t have everything!

We rode through the San Luis Valley today.  It’s so beautiful and so flat.  It’s a little world all tucked in between two mountain ranges.  Most of the ride was long straight roads with pastures of cattle grazing and a few horse ranches.  

Unfortunately… Continue reading

Day 9 June 4, 2009

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

After the long, exhausting ride yesterday, we woke up at 5:30 and decided to get up and head to Sedona.  We actually had a great night’s sleep.  The Grey Hills Inn was spotlessly clean and the beds were comfortable.  And once we were on the bikes and headed down the road, all of yesterday’s aches and pains and exhaustion seemed to blow away in the breeze.

Day 10 June 5, 2009

Friday, June 5th, 2009

We spent the morning walking through one of the canyons near Sedona with Victor and his wife, Vicki, who took us on a vortex tour.  The tour was very peaceful and spiritually enriching.  It was a chance for Mark and I to feel connected spiritually, to get away from the chaos of the rest of the world and feel grounded and let the energy of the rock rejuvenate us. If… Continue reading

A Word from Big Sister

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

One of the advantages of having done this blog for Mark and Sandy is that I can just jump in here anytime I want and post something and they won’t mind. It is Sunday afternoon, June 7th around 3 PM here in California and I am going crazy waiting to hug my baby sister! I have cookies in the oven baking that I hope Mark will really like – Cherry… Continue reading

Day 11 June 6, 2009

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

Our stay in Williams, AZ was short and not too newsworthy.  We had a great dinner at Doc Holliday’s (sp?) Steak House in Williams which was really good.  There were lots of restaurants there and other steak houses with old west themes.  It’s a tiny little town in the middle of nowhere within an hour’s drive of the Grand Canyon, which is why we chose it.

Our ride to… Continue reading
