Our Backyard - the Beginning

We have decided to go electronic and publish a blog of our travels so our friends and family can see where we are and what we find interesting in this great land of ours. We changed our backyard scenery from this backyard in Westminister (our pool in March 03) to have the entire USA backyard as our new play area.

Recent History: For those of you who do not know, we sold the house in May 08 and have not looked back since. Now that Bob and Donna Dembinski, our friends for about 30 years, are traveling with us on our journey we thought it was about time to keep everyone up to speed on our activities. We are now in the Rocky Mountains at Cureacanti National Recreation Area. We all decided to camphost and have been here since leaving Las Vegas on May 15th. We have had fun and met a lot of really nice people but don't know if we will be doing this again--you might say the jury is still out.

We are now into hiking and have met Doug and April Allmond, retired ABC cameraman at the White House, who also enjoy hiking and we have had the wonderful experience of hiking some of the world's most beautiful scenery. It was actually Doug who said, "Isn't it great that we own all of this" as we viewed mountain lakes and mountain peaks. Hence the title, "Our backyard".

This is a one of the pictures Doug took that is representative of what we get to see everyday.
