Wow!!!! those are some beautiful photos, I love them but am glad it was you taking the photos not me, that red rock on both sides was scarey, felt boxed in.rocks and mountains are just wonderful, but as long as I am not near them. the trees and the water are just so breathtaking, makes you feel like you are there. wonderful pictures...

Well Debbie, did you and DH sing the song "I'm at the top of the world, looking down on creation , and the only explanation I can find ........... It sure looks like you were at the top of the world. Thanks for sharing and taking us all the way with you and finally bringing us home a week after you got there (ha). Oh well at least we got there too. Hope you get rested up and get totally rid of that cold that you had.

WOW, I would have been white knuckled as well, but the photos are breath taking. Thank you for sharing! Glad you are back!

That is too funny... we did a trip something like that once.... we were looking for a cave that the kids wanted to explore....ha! We followed the signs and ended driving up and down hills until we hit a covered bridge at the bottom of a big hill.... and guess what? The MH didn't clear the bridge so we had to back up for about 5 miles until we got to a driveway or sorts to turn around.... we had that one labelled to... but I won't mention what!.... lolol ... we'll just say, we won't be looking for a cave anytime in the future..LOLOL but look at all the good memories we have eh? Great stuff Debbie, tks for sharing.

I can see you had fun going up and coming down but worth the view I'm sure by your photo's. By the way Debbie the After School Club is going well and we have 8 registered and the kids are enjoying it immensely. They are having fun. Will have their pillows finished next week. So hope to get photo's of them with their project. How was the show did you get plenty of orders?

We had a great dam experience--went from Vancouver to the Okanagan Valley on Canada 1--great highway, turned south and decided to explore another route home. Just south of the border, in Wash. there was a sorta parallel road, looked a little windy--I can't remember the name of the pass or dam way down in the valley from the top of the world, but the view was beautiful, unless you're looking straight down from the passenger side!! Since I was driving our camperized van, I wasn't the one making pb&j sandwiches on the fly. It was a lumber road, dirt, 1 descent lane and every mile an area to turn into to meet the trucks--PTL!! we didn't meet any! Once on the road there was no alternative other than backing out for several miles--wonder if the road is still there?--this was 35 years ago!! The dam was huge, even from several miles above it!!

Quite an adventure. The views are fantastic, even if you felt like hanging at the edge of the road. When you related this event earlier I thought you went through the Oregon Pass, I was told this was a hairy trail to take.

You made it and had a great experience--what could be better? My husband is no longer allowed to navigate. We were in the Colorado mountains, I was driving the minivan--he says go up this road, it's a shortcut. I'm looking at a dirt road and going, oh no. Stopped to ask a ranger type--he almost busted a gut laughing at the idea. I lost part of my muffler after we turned around. Maps in the wrong hands are very dangerous. Glad you're home safe.
