 Jeff and I stopped here to hike to the top of the Rock |
 the portal to the top |
 the rail all the way up provided emotional and physical support |
 rock might have been dumped through this window when constructing the trail |
 Hoover Dam |
 small tugboat pushing the barge |
 Hoover Dam and Hooverville |

 all pictures of the Dam were taken from different spots on the trail to the top of the Rock |
 not a good idea to get dizzy when looking down |
 exiting the portal |
 The Missoula floods came to within 150 feet of the top of Beacon Rock |

 Breakfast on Sunday morning |

 |
 |
 Gail is getting MIke hooked on the "candy" game |
 getting ready to "go to church"; at least that's what Gail thought |
 The Bridge of the Gods though is not 'church' |
 Gail "ushered" me to a variety of spots to take pictures of the Bridge |
 The "Oregon Pony" took over after the horses |
 Another good meal on Sunday night |
 Judy fixed delicious ribs |
 One thing we all enjoy doing --- eating |
 Also like to sit around the table and reminisce; no longer solving the world's problems |
 Judy's friend, Rymmel (from college too) and her husband joined us for dinner |
 Nice looking group, I'd say |
 The remaining pictures were taken on our way home on Monday. this is the Mary Museum |
 And the Stonehenge |

 Vista House is a work of art |
 Beautiful architecture with marble walls on the inside |
 And here it is from a viewpoint not far away |
