TEN DAYS WITHOUT A COMPUTER

 
Sunday morning October 28th.....Penticton BC
Sunday evening....Yakima Washington State
Monday evening October 29th....Ely Nevada
Tuesday evening October 30th Gold Canyon Arizona
******************
 
OH NO!!!!!!!!!
 
I forgot the power cord to the computer in a hotel room in Washington State
 
NOT A GOOD MOVE

We were 10 days without the computer
Since then we have had lots of trouble with the internet connection
Here's hoping it is behind us now
 
 
Still in BC
 
Saturday evening
Hunter and Gwendolyn trying on Garen's Halloween costume
 
Something wrong with this picture??
Dogs taking over the living room!
 
Gwennie getting a manicure before the big trip
 
Lyndsay....the wine maker
Have to say Lyndsay worked long long hours
Tis the season for grapes
Good job Lyndsay!!
 
Joe was in good shape after his surgery
Graham was in good shape in the vineyard
so..............
We decided to leave for Arizona a few days ahead of schedule
and
Many thanks to Nana Gail for taking over so we could get on the road by 11 a.m. on Sunday morning
 
Down the driveway we go
 
Goodbye Tightrope
 
Heading down Highway 97 toward Oliver and Osoyoos
 
We are over the border and into the
US of A
 
The picture says it all!
 
The picking of the apples
 
Chief Joseph Dam
 
Interesting...............
We have travelled this route before
However
We have driven from Arizona up to BC
Never
BC down to Arizona
It is like seeing everything from a different view
 
For example.............
Never knew about this rock at the lookout
 
 
 
Whoa
Where has this truck been????
 
 
This guy looks like he is checking us out
Stopped at a MacDonald's
for an afternoon treat
Chocolate sundae
It sure tasted good
 
Coming up to the Columbia River
 
We crossed the bridge
 
Now that would have taken a lot of work
to get the rocks up the hill
 
Early Monday morning
Heading towards Nevada
 
The clouds were amazing
and
So low!


Yum Yum
 
I first thought the birds were Canadian geese
They're swans
 
We're into Oregon
Clouds were so low we could drive right through them
 
 
 
I just like the colours in this photo
 
There are going to be some happy cows and horses
 
This was a beautiful sight
We were about an hour out of Ely Nevada
 
 
 
On to Las Vegas
Not many cars on the road
 
Happy Halloween
 
This sign caught my eye!
 
 
 
Getting closer to Vegas
 
Landscape changed again
 
Vegas is over there
Check out the smog
 
 
 
YEAH
 
What's this I see??????
 
LUNCH
IN-N-OUT BURGER
Another of 'the boy's' favourite places for a burger
 
We're home
Stephanie and Rod opened the house for us
Now ... that's a gift!
 
Backyard view the next morning
 
Evening
 
IT'S GOOD TO BE HOME
 
LIFE IS GOOD

  1. Gwennie looks wonderful !! All her pictures are great what a love !! The picture of her with Joe in the truck is priceless :) For the record I see nothing wrong with the scene of the dogs in the living room !! Looks about right ! Glad you had a safe and uneventful drive to Arizona. Looking forward to more blogs now that you're back "on line" :)
