WHAT SAYS "SUMMER" OR "MEMORIES" TO YOU? IT CAN BE ANYTHING! ADD ON!
AND WHO HAD ONE OF THESE?
AND WHO HAD ONE OF THESE?
Oh! Pictures please!I'm middle-aged now, so nothing says 'summer' to me like sweating out yard work.
Although now it's starting to also be heralded by "Road trip with the boy." I just finished the last of the planning before hitting this forum. We had a lot of fun last year, so we're doing it again, this time looping through the desert southwest.
Of course. We're heading out 40 west, stopping at Blanchard Springs Cavern on the first day, then hitting Petrified Forest National Park on day 3. We'll end our west run at Hoover Dam, stay there a day and a half, then head northeast. We'll hit the CCC/POW camp in Salina, UT, pass through Grand Junction and visit the Veteran's Cemetery there, and then - if the roads have cleared by then - up the the Alpine Visitor's Center in Rocky Mountain National Park. From there we're heading the Royal Gorge, up through the Center of the lower 48, and up to Omaha to see the Union Pacific museum, the Desert Dome, and Freedom Park. From there it'll just be a slog home.Oh! Pictures please!
Are those Schwinn bikes? I remember when two of my brothers got them for Christmas one year.WHAT SAYS "SUMMER" OR "MEMORIES" TO YOU? IT CAN BE ANYTHING! ADD ON!

The trip is designed to avoid driving after dark. I'm especially wary of that in the southwest. And I'll give him the warning about not acknowledging anything unusual he might see out in the desert in the event we are out in the night.
