Left Golden on Monday morning and I-70 was clear across Colorado. Just north of Moab we drove into Arches National Park. It was a beautiful day and the views were spectacular. We drove throughout the park with short walks on the Park Avenue Trail as well as the Devils Garden Trail.
Trip Log
December 28, 2025
Yesterday we went to Evergreen with Steve and Laura and walked around Evergreen Lake before driving along Upper Bear Creek Road and then over to Lookout Mountain before driving down the mountain trail to Golden. We did not stop at Buffalo Bill's grave since we had all been there before.

We left on Christmas morning heading to Golden Colorado and spent the night in Durango. The weather was good and we enjoyed the trip through the mountains and high desert. We enjoyed being in Durango again but it had changed a lot in the last 20 years.
December 24, 2025
On the 11th thru the 14th Jeff took the family and significant others to Salt Lake City for a little Christmas vacation. We were tasked with the drop off and pick up at the airport as well as dog sitting while they were gone. They had a wonderful time and we did as well.
December 8, 2025
Kept ourselves busy during November with biking, hiking and gym visits. Jeff and Danielle requested to host Thanksgiving because Bailey was coming with Nicki and Bridget was bringing Michael.

Took the Santa Fe to the shop yesterday to have a recall performed. Nothing I considered critical but good to get it done. The starter wiring could start a fire in an accident so they moved some wiring around, installed a software update and did the courtesy inspections.
November 3, 2025
Friday was a pickleball and pool day. We also caught up with Jeff, Danielle and Lou. We met with them a few times during Lou's visit but he was flying out on Saturday so we said our good-byes.

Craig and Janet flew in from Tampa Monday evening for a week stay. They were supposed to land at 7PM but were delayed until after 10 so they were very tired. We were following their flight so we knew to go to the airport later.
October 20, 2025
Danielle's brother Lou flew in from Philadelphia today to spend a few weeks with Jeff and Danielle.
October 18, 2025
Alesa and I attended the No Kings Rally in downtown Chandler today to show our support for the movement and our total displeasure with the current fascist regime of the 5th grade level bully and the haters, greedies and gullables who support it.
