Hi Maple! So nice to see you!

ooh, Chile is also on my bucket list. I had better live for a very long time! Ah, so that's why you don't see yourself as a St. Bernard.

orp, the lighthouse is a very large rock formation in Palo Duro canyon. I don't think it counts but I have ridden the mules 3 times to phantom ranch in the Grand Canyon. I have ridden horses to the South Rim several times in Big Bend Natl Park.Ohhh I am starting to see a pattern here. No hiking boots........Cowboy boots!

Palo Duro is so cool. Its like a little grand canyon. I don't think we did the lighthouse when we were there. There was flooding, so some of the areas of the park weren't accessible. We also had my son who was about six at the time. On a good day he can hike with the best, on a bad day..........lets just not go there. He's eight now, and when still when he is tired or the hike is boring to him, he's a misery to be around.

Yosemite is on my list of places to go. I'm hoping that our vacation this year will be Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. If it goes the way I envision, I will drive to Utah from Texas, stopping at the Guadalupe Mountains and Rocky Mountain Nat'l Parks on the way. We'll spend a week in Utah where the dh will meet me and the boyos. The stop in SLC is to visit relatives, then we'll go on to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. Hopefully there will be lots of hiking opportunities, and much fun will be had.

Next summer will be back to Alaska to visit family, then maybe Yosemite.

Well, I've never actually hiked up a mountain, unfortunately. When I worked at Yellowstone I wanted to climb Mt. Washburn, but I came down with mono instead. It's still on my to do list though!

I have been over some pretty high passes. I've been in the Beartooths and Absarokas more times than I can count. I've been over Dunraven Pass in Yellowstone (almost 9000 feet), the Cloud Peak Skyway and the Big Horn Scenic Byway in the Bighorn Mountains, I think both of those are about 10,000 feet, Dead Indian Pass near Cody, Wyoming, and Togwotee Pass. Togwotee Pass crosses the Continental Divide between Dubois, WY and Jackson Hole.

I still haven't done the Beartooth Highway, which is almost 11,000 feet. My husband and I are actually going out West again at the end of this week (!!!) but it's too early in the year for the Beartooths.

I had this awesome idea that may or may not be the best thing ever.

Let us just say that knowing about the Animation Age Ghetto and Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni can come in handy.
