The moon was almost full and we saw lots of Elk, and wildlife!

[see photo #1: Challenger approach in right foreground (actual summit not visible), Kit Carson in center,…

Happy Birthday Illa!

We tried to find a good e-card for you but all of the ones available out there are really cheesy, so Bubbie, Joelle and I thought a nice impromptu video from your number one fan would be the most appropriate birthday card!  Here it is – we love you, and Happy Birthday!!!
