A wonderful reunion of cousins, friends and shared memories.

L to R: Dorothy, Shari and Laura: (Laura and Shari are sisters and Dorothy is their cousin.
Helen, Lyla and Carol.  Helen and Lyla are sisters and Carol is their cousin.
We all have wonderful childhood memories of life on Redlands Mesa.  

Lyla, Carol and Shari.  Carol and Shari played matchmaker.
They plotted and schemed to get Dan and I together.
  Lyla was innocent in this diabolical plan.

Lyla and I drove through the "dobies" on our way home.

Our Adventure up Escalante Canyon

The coloration of this buck was due to his shedding of his coat.

We have always wanted to take the loop from the Escalante turn off to Twenty-Five Mesa but we have never had a four wheel drive car before.   So .....  Off we went with our hopes high in our Lexus.  We saw many wonderful sites

Walker Cabin

 We saw old building built by pioneers.

The high light of our trip was the herd of Desert Big Horn Sheep

Note how narrow the road is.  
We were as far off the road as
possible.

While waiting I took some photos of the very old trees. 
They were very large around but short and weather worn. 
This one is a Juniper.
