We're off to Hyder, AK
July, 2010
Saturday
From Dumas to Louisville, Co
Joy and I headed out Friday after work. We'll meet up with everyone else in Cody, Wy.
It rained on us from Denton
to Amarillo (Friday)
Wacky clouds
(Friday)
Determined
to try and get out of Texas today. However, we stopped at Dumas. (Friday)
Most of what
we saw early in the morning, rural west Texas
While we were
easing through Clayton, we saw Bud and Armando's bikes resting
We're here
The Castle
is always under construction
Notes from
Jim Bishop
The start of
the moat. You can see the water underneath
Just one of
the staircases to the Castle
The chimney

Joy inside
the Castle
Let me have
a swing at this thing
Art in the
window
Elevator shaft
That is Bishop
up in the very top of the castle screaming comments abroad. He can be
entertaining if you are not offended by much. He was talking very rough
about Obama and various political issues. (He is a character)
We met Susan
Stroud Crain in Woodland Park. She is a fellow classmate from Frisco.
We had lunch.
Kim (Susan's
daughter), Jacob (Susan's grandson), Susan, and Joy
Eating lunch
with Pike's Peak in the background
Jacob is going
to give it a test ride
But, not without
a helmet
Susan is leading
us to her house
Remote
More remote
Oh yes, here

Kim and Jacob
are taking an imaginery spin on Susan's husband's (Ray) Harley. It looked
very nice.
