Well, Nancy & I have been playing a lot this summer and have had tons of great visitors. Brooke and Autumn both made it home for separate visits. Nancy decided not to do a big garden this summer; she's been staining decks, painting, and doing a lot of mowing for exercise, and the place looks great. I've cut back to only 3 work days a week for the D-SNGRR, so every weekend would be a four-day weekend, therefore we could properly break in the new Rubicon. I think this may possibly be my last year with the train, even "fun retirement jobs" have to end sometime. For those of you who haven't made it up here to Durango yet to ride the train as our guests, sorry guys, we've lost our free employee tickets; it's been 16 years . . . you snooze, you lose. But you're still invited to come play . . . and we DO like to PLAY!!!!
We thought we'd post a bunch of miscellaneous pics from the past couple of months. We enjoy pulling them up on the laptop on later dates, like while we're out on Summer Breeze with nothing but miles of ocean around; it reminds us that we do have a life on land, too.
Hope you enjoy, also.
This is NOT high altitude "jeeping", this is high altitude "huff & puff hiking". You don't just feel your heart beating up here, you can hear it.

They should make a poster like this to educate smokers.
Sleeping in the Jeep . . . an RV it's not.
