OUR 4TH OF JULY


This is why Gary and I never made it to the Graham
airstrip last year. We tried three times, the first time the road was closed due to snow. The second time we were able to drive in about 20 miles before a huge snow drift made us turn around, the third time the road was closed due to fire. Susan and Mark on top of Jackson Peak, at the Lookout station--see the sky, the smoke - it's from fires----California fires--



The guys decided that they were not going to let a little snow drift keep them from making it to their destination.



It has been a great year for wildflowers, I wish I could take better pictures, the mountain sides are just covered with flowers.




Susan and Mark--the road was so rough, Mark tried his hardest to make the ride as comfortable for Susan as he could. The Dr. said it was okay for her to ride a ATV as long as it wasn't teeth jarring. This ride was close. This is about where Susan decided she had, had enough. Gary and I went a little further.





But not much further. We came to the end of the road. Gary forgot his chain saw.








We dropped Susan and Mark off at their house around 8:30, they were planning on riding their bikes to the park to watch fire works....not sure if it happen, Susan was pretty tired. Gary and I decided to go to the fireworks in Caldwell, we didn't have time to go home and clean up, or drop the ATV's off, so we just took the ATV's with us, and sat on them, while we watched the fireworks. I think Caldwell has a great fireworks display.
