Cataract Canyon Adventure

June 9 and the Sutton Boys hook it up in Salt Lake City to begin our Geology on Stroids adventure. In the next seven days we are going to get the chance to experience the Four Corners on a first hand basis. Hikes, car rides and raft trips are going to take us into some pretty amazing country.

(Thought for the day: See America first, It is an unbelievable Town!)

When I get out of this plane I will transfer some images into Life Trek 63 along with some comments. Stand by, like I said, America is a pretty amazing Town!

Moab was so cool

Utah, River Trek

We are on our way to Bryce Canyon. Brett, Grant and I will REALLY be seeing Utah this week!

Volvo and The Bayerman

Gail and I just picked up Brett's 40. Had a chance ti talk with Colin. Will have dinner with him next week when we return from Wisconsin. Fun. Driving to see Dorth and KB tomorrow. Lookin for a lemon merengue pie for our visit with them then to Tuttle.

Sons, Grandsons, daughters Granddaughters

So last week we had the privilege of having HC and Fin stay with us-for almost a full week! Yesterday we arrived in Chicago and have been with the Chicago Suttons-Jack, Darby, Grant, and Katy. They have something up here in the north they call rain. Coming from Houston I have begun to think of rain as one of the things legends are made of. Yesterday set a record for Chicago for the most amount of rain in a 24 hour period. Will spend today here then off to Wisconsin for cruz time at Tuttle Lake with D & L. Home in a week for HC's 4th Bday. Pretty exciting summer so far.

Following comment seems appropriate for Lifetrek63. So are the inhabitants of Washington, D.C. Trippin or what. Get er done boys and girls or stand down and let someone who can do. It ain't about elections, parties, rich, poor, conservative, liberal, etc. It's about the United States of America, children. A little adult behavior would be greatly appreciated. Never thought I would say this, but I miss President William Jefferson Clinton. Clearly he got the concept of comprise for the benefit of the country. Oh yeah, that was when we had our last budget surplus. All for now. Going to go enjoy the Fam.

Home Is Where the Heart Is

Regardless of where your passport says you are, you are home. So, as I was getting ready to do this post I realized that my heart is in Houston, Texas, Chicago, Illinois, Tallinn, Estonia and very soon on a United plane bound for the coast. Know your homes and you will know your heart.

Did this qualify as a post for Lifetrek, yep, cuz it was the result of a little mental trippin.

T plus one and counting, very, very slowly

So tomorrow is the last day of this Scandia, Finland, and Tallinn trek. Brett and I are in Copenhagen. Another amazing city! We arrived by plane and were picked by Nielsp and then did a whirl wind tour around the inter city. What with it being a work with full time population in the greater metro area of 5.5 million and anther billion or so visitors, it was hectic. Hugh spotsp, at least four: The Rosenborg Castle where the Danish Royal Family jewels and treasures are held (the castle built by Christian IV back in the fifteenth century); the statue of The Little Mermaid (yes HC and Darby Kate, I saw the original Little Mermaid!); the Royal Palace, and Tivoli Garden. Brett was very hungry when we were at The Little Mermaid so one of his favorite spots was the stereo vendor who was selling brown sugar and roasted almonds. He was in heaven.

We are now a bit rested and are going out on our nightly prowl of the city. Will grab dinner, maybe a barge ride around the city, hopefully a climb to the top of a church whose staircase to the top of the steeple is on the outside of the steeple, an ice cream cone, a beer or two (water/coke for me, then to hotel for a good nights sleep. We are off to the outlying areas tomorrow before a 6:00p.m. Flight to Amsterdam.

Take care. Oh yeah, sorry for the massive post of videos yesterday. Once I started I couldn't seem to stop.
