It's been a while before I have been able to do a blog! I left off on my last night in Kisii.  The next morning my dad and Paul and I headed back to the Mara for our safari. Pat and Don went on to Kissumu to go to more schools. My dad and I were also joined for the safari by Jake and Alex (they …

Scooter put all of before and after photos in on spot so peeples can go through them without having to look at other now time photos

The final drive from Cheyenne to Brighton was as uneventful as we would have hoped for. It is always gratifying to get back home, no matter how much fun we had had.   The seeds the pictures that we looked at when visiting Tina and Brandon did bear fruit, six years later. The four of us, plu…

Thursday, June 23, 1994,   It was time to go home. Today was our 13th day of the road trip. Even as I write about this 15 years after the fact, I have never been on a trip this long. When it was all said and done, we will have traveled though eight states and logged 3800 miles. This last 430…

Wednesday, July 17, 1996     It was two years since we took our vacation, cross country, to Kentucky. That vacation was supposed to have included my Dad. We were going to spend several days in his boyhood home (Ashland, KY), and visit all the family there. But, Dad could not be talked …

Right after we got out of the stagecoach we got in our car and headed north to link up with I-70. We had six hours of driving plus stops before we got home. We stopped in Burlington, CO for dinner. From there it was it was straight home. We had planned to be home about 6:30 PM, but we were two hour…

We had a great time. The fireworks over Mt Rushmore were spectacular. Devil's Tower was impressive and even the canoe trip was a story to tell for years. Another succesful trip.
