Heading home from the Rockies
Hello there! Welcome back, as I mentioned in my last post, it had been a gorgeous few weeks. Our trip up and over the Rockies and then back down into Grand Lake was exhilarating. As our family wandered through the San Juan and Rocky Mountains we were treated to a stunning, exceptional series of moments…

A day trip in the Rocky Mountains
We’d spent the night in Grand Lake, in a cozy restored cabin, resting along a small creek that fed down into the lake itself. With a bubbling brook on one side, and the great grand lake to the other, it was a beautiful restful night. We found good food for dinner (Ma cooked), and we…

The Black Canyon of the Gunnison
It was already the next morning, the sun seeming to race across the horizon and stream into the sky. The light was just starting to pick up in the valley as we checked out, loaded up and started on our way. We were headed up to the north country, towards Rocky Mountain National Park and…

Headed up to Lizard Pass
Good evening folks, It’s good to get a chance to sit down and start writing. It’s been a while, so please excuse me as I brush off the dust, settle into the couch, and start typing. It was a cool morning, the rains having passed in the night. The strong scent of sage and brush-land,…

Casa Cielo, Fishin, and a Sunset
There’s nothing quite like the quiet, still mornings you have when your body is adjusting to a whole new climate and atmosphere. The Jet lagged wake up call at 3am, and the still silence that you’ve been missing for the last week which permeates everything. It’s a great feeling, and I hadn’t realized just how…

Headed to Colorado, the Drive to Cortez
Howdy folks! It’s been a few days since I had a chance to write, and by a few days I guess I mean weeks! Wow, time has really been flying. It’s been a crazy adjustment period as I’ve begun settling into my duties as PCVL and have started learning about Southern Province and Zambia. We’ll…

On the road, our daytrip to Sedona:
