    My Journey

    If dogs could talk, I suppose that my best friends might tell you that we walked way too many miles along that gravel road during our short stay here.....but honestly, that's just what I enjoy doing so much these days.....especially when out in the prairie..... There's just much beauty out...

    Foy.....yep, it's a good town.....and they have good sammiches..... For those of you that are familiar with My Journey, you know that I have grown an affinity for using the phrase "to see what I can see". You may have noticed that I just used it in my last post. This winter I took a liking to...

    My Journey

    Towards the end of the month.....when the snows became less frequent..... .....and when the days were noticeably longer..... And when the snow began to melt in the mountains to the east..... And after we'd stayed for a full cycle of the moon..... Well.....I began to think that it...

    My Journey

    I'm not so sure that I really needed that sign..... .....as it was fairly obvious..... We made a final stop in West Yellowstone, Montana....stretch the legs and take care of business..... We hung a left at the stop light..... .....took Highway 191 straight to home..... and as we...

    McCarthy.....it really is a tough decision.....the young man, he needs to get back to his family and his work, easy decision.....the old man, he needs to do whatever he feels like doing, therefore, it does indeed make it a tough decision..... chet6.7.....that dog chair felt so good when I...

    My Journey

    One last walk through the red rocks completed..... One last crossing of the footbridge over the Colorado River..... One last look at the snow covered LA Sal Mountains to the southeast.....a reminder of what was soon to come.... And one last look at this sign posted on the footbridge...

    Ace.....that pup was great.....I fell in love with him instantly..... ghostdancer.....I'm with you.....I like reading stuff, and I like pictures (lots of pictures).....and those two threads (yes, mine being one) are the type of threads that attract me..... A relatively flat, paved & well...

    My Journey

    Groverland.....your description is about perfect. It's frustrating to only be allowed on the road (dogs). I've never actually seen the park..... Ace.....yep..... Riversdad.....I should be more careful as I've personally seen the pain that a dog goes through, and then there's the financial...

    My Journey

    Our campsite was a good one.....not only did we have the silence & solitude that we yearned for.....we also had some really magnificent views..... The following day we headed for CanyonLands National Park.....just a short drive south along Highway 191..... I'm not sure why it would be, but...

    My Journey

    Ace.....I went down the same path.....for awhile anyhow..... It was here.....at some point.....that I'd finally made the decision to go home. It's always a difficult decision to leave the enchanted lands of southeast Utah, yet at the same time I was yearning to spend winter days at the cabin...

    Riversdad.....here's our history on rattlesnake encounters.....as best that I can recall..... 1.)

    My Journey

    Riversdad.....it's such a small gesture.....honestly, it probably makes me feel better than it does the dogs..... Ace.....I guess that once you're a sailor, you're always a sailor ? I'm surprised you didn't end up on a sailboat traveling the world (a dream of mine)..... ghostdancer.....I want...

    My Journey

    PNWY.....It's tough to see the underfed, mangy, wild dogs wandering around searching for a handout.....but the one positive thing regarding the wild dogs on the reservation, if there is indeed one positive thing regarding those wild dogs, is that I never saw anyone being abusive towards the wild...

    My Journey

    The San Juan River, which we had just crossed, & which I had just mentioned in my previous post, demarcates the northern boundary of the Navajo Indian Reservation.....so, before I move on, before I go further north in this story.....I just wanted to make a single post which brings attention to...
