That's me playing banjo on July 4th. Don's in the background on the left. We practiced for a few weeks before the event and I learned how to more or less play "chickenscratch" on the banjo. It was fun, but I enjoy playing bluegrass much mor

We camped out a few days in the spring of 1983 on the banks of the Verde River. The water in the river was much higher than normal because of the snow melt, and that water was icy cold. On the other side, was a (clothing optional) hot spring and I re

Ed, Wesley, Marianne, and Don. At least, finally, we got out of that vehicle. I'm not going to mention who ate the brocolli and beer the night before, but there were several times on that trip when the windows were rapidly rolled down, despite the sn

Look at that line going to the ski lift. I'm glad I don't like skiing, but I enjoyed the trip there and the scenery.

It doesn't look like it, but it was COLD that day.
