Ugh, tough break!
Oh boy... Sorry to hear that you ran into more fallout from the gov't shutdown. Sounds like you're still having a nice trip though. - Ken

Looks like a really fun and pleasant day....
Philip and I enjoyed all these pictures and the duck as well. Great enchanting atmosphere there at the river. That was a blessing indeed to have the rain stop so early. No fun otherwise. The large cypress looks like a smaller Angel Tree that we have outside of Charleston. Ever seen that? Love trees and all the shapes. Surely you bought one of the Blings. Ha! Y'all look in fine shape and are beginning to think home again before too long I imagine. Great thing is you don't really have to come home. That would be soooo wonderful. :)) We are still with you wondering where the next stop is. EM & P

Great Pictures!
Hello you two....Tucson really looks nice and walking tours are great as you can enjoy up close and see things better. How I wish the park system would open back up so you could enjoy some more parks before getting all the way back home again. Maybe it will. The cathedral is so very grand and beautiful. Were you on a tour inside the cathedral I wonder. Were you allowed to see much of the interior. Wonder what is coming up next. Stay safe! EM & P

beautiful
Wolves and bob cats and bears Oh My!!

Happiness fills my heart/ YES!!!
Soooo glad the adventure continues and you were able to at least get in to Yosemite and the good glimpses you saw made it even more precious. You just have to see things like that to hardly believe...so awesome. So thrilled you are making the most of it and will glean all you can to still make this a good trip for you. So, thank the Lord, we are off and going and looking to see what more adventure can be found. I think you could probably see the Redwoods the same way as there are stands other than the actual national park I believe. Anyway...looking forward to see what next. Daddy's Meals on Wheels lady and her husband climbed half dome and back down all in one day, In their forties and well trained. Awesome and terrifying (in places) climb. Can you just imagine. Hope you are taking millions of pictures. Love...EM & P

Like your blog
It's like we are taking the trip with you. Sorry that squabble in Congress is putting a problem in your visits to National Parks. Larson is an interesting and often overlooked park, to bad you won't be able to visit. All is well here in SC, the weather is great and we are enjoying OLLI. See you when you return. Keep up the info flow. Tom and Sandy

Hurricane in Oregon
WHOA That surely is a wash out. Now all we needed was a pic of you sipping wine!! Well as of today I guess your national parks tour is over...Sorry What is your plan now??

Great place and looks so interesting!
That is some place your friends have....a true dream!!! So did you head out to the coast from there...the wild and wonderful coast?? Love the way they have preserved the old town. Would be a great place to retire I think. The weather has been dreamy here. Marigold is still with us and we have been pushed into the position of being foster parents. Really too much. Looking forward to seeing more Oregon pictures. EM & P

Wooooo....Weeeee! Love this last photo with lodge in background.
Also the first picture is the best photo of you two ever! Soooo is Morton WA named after THE Morton family? Are you famous? You used the word eerie..love eerie! The whole journey there sounds so captivating! Wonderfully written. One morning P. & I drove past the Tetons in fog without the weeest hint of anything bigger than life being right there beside us. Had to believe in faith. I remember thinking..that is like God who is so near. What a grand time you two are having. You both look so well. Wonder where our next stop will be What ever it is I know it will be good. Safe driving ya'll...meantime we hold our breath. E & P

Great trip and blog
We are enjoying your blog on your trip. Hope the weather and the government keep it great. If those guys and gals in DC can't reach an agreement on the budget and the debit cap, the national parks may be closed for lack of funds. that could be as early as October 1st but more likely some time after that. May affect your trip back home. Keep up the reporting and have a great time. Tom & Sandy

Guessed It!!!
Figured you would hit Arches next and so awesome. We went back the next morning to see more. We were a mile away from the famous arch and could have hiked the mile to it but way too hot to attempt. All these formations bigger than life. You are taking grand pictures. The sun so bright my pictures were not good like yours and also did not have a digital. Dazzled by it all. I imagine you will go to dead horse canyon or something like that and one other like green river canyon all close by out the other way. Not far. Just can't imagine the wonder of it all until you are actually there. So glad you are seeing this. Worth every moment in time and the expense. Just have to be there to believe. I took some pictures of the underside of the arches and bet you did too. See ya soon on another blog. :))

WOW!
This area offers so much. For the short time we were in Moab we had decisions to make and ran out of time and did not see this part because of distance and had much to see short distances from where we were. Your pictures are incredible and so exciting. Really impressed and so glad you saw this. Looking forward to seeing your next series of pictures. This is so much fun!!!! Thanks always!!
