Riblets First Day
He adopted US around Mrrch, 2005 and weightd 7lbs. Because of his weight, the vet thought that he was a year old. He grew to a lean 15 lbs in a year... Guess he was only 6 months when we got him.
Riblet
He has a small rib sticking out, hence his name.

On The Road
Many hours of wonderful scenery like this. But most of the drive was great!
A stop to stretch
In the desert southwest of Flagstaff
Our first stop
Not really OUR hotel in Flagstaff...just an interesting old sign in historic downtown.
The Riordan Mansion - Flagstaff
Mission style house built by lumber magnates in the late 19th century. Interesting, not gorgeous.
At the Riordan House Gate
Now a State Park.
Monument Valley, UT
We passed by on our way to Durango.
Downtown Durango
Our next stop for two nights. No--- we stayed at the trusty Holiday Inn Express.
A Trip on the Railroad
The historic Durango to Silverton narrow-gauge RR.
The Train is Loaded
Probably headed to a geriatric concentration camp
Our Car on the Train
One of a kind open car built a million years ago
Jimmy with his new Hat

Our Guide-Driver
On an offroad 4WD trip that lasted about 5 hours. It was GREAT
We Lost Our Steering
A bit of a concern. Had to go back to town to switch vehicles. Short delay.
Along the road
I guess the steering WAS kinda important!
Amanda in her Element
A quick stop. The road rattled our bodies quite well.
The Town of Sneffels
One of several mines we passed.
Approaching Our Terminus
_D3C1234.jpg 2008-10-02

We continue South
More beauty. There is generally very little color other than yellow. You have to go to New England for the reds and oranges.
In the Aspen Grove
A grove of Aspens is actually just ONE Organism making it one of the largest living things on Earth!
Amanda Scores Again
We ended up in there for over 2hrs, making phone calls & doing data input. What a way to spend a vacation, huh? Barack the Vote!
Hailstorm in Cortez
Our next penultimate stop. On our departure, we were treated to 35 degree weather, rain and hail.
The Painted Desert
An unplanned stop, but a lucky one
Painted Desert Panorama
We lucked out with 75 degree weather.
