We are not Lost We were upducted by aliens who didn't give us time to post. Ok, that was a lie but sounded like a good excuse for not posting the last few days. Honestly, we keep trying to find time to catch up on the days we've missed but quite frankly, we are having too much fun making the memories and thus, too tired at night to post - fresh air and all you know. Alas, we decided to forego c... Read Full Entry

Jerry and Rita

Ahh...life does not always follow the plan. We are a happily married couple for 21 years. We had many plans for retirement. But alas, many health issues have crept into Jerry's life.

The first sighting

Wow! This is exciting!!

Getting closer...

...and closer

"Hike" to the base of the falls

...ok...well...Rita hiked; Jerry scootered

In Route

A view from the path to the base of the falls

Arrival at the Base

The base of Takakkaw Falls - it was worth the time to get there

Relaxed

Rita takes a rest at the base of the Falls

Adjacent Glacier

Everywhere you look, another site of note

From the Base

Another awesome view

Creek fed by the Falls

Getting back from the Falls

Jerry scooters ahead. What a life!

One look back

Too awesome not to take one more look after crossing back across the bridge

Special Parking Lot view

Somebody has to get this to Marty (Nichol's folks will understand)

Heading down

Going down from the falls shows different views

Awesome....simply awesome!

Downward Ho

Thank heaven the geers keep working

The drizzle begins

Still going down

Picture doesn't do this justice - switchback every car had to take. Some had to stop, back up, and take a second shot at the turns

And still going down

More drizzle but note the autumn colors

Finally back on the main road

Yikes - looks like mountain storms ahead

Mountain Color

Though we started seeing leaves blow from the trees today, color is still outstanding

Outstanding!
Wow you guys...what beautiful scenery. I look forward to your posts. It's kind of like hitching a ride along. Bryan says hello and wishes he was there (maybe you don't but he does ha, ha). Have fun! Love, Vickie
