We finally went inside Cedar Breaks National Monument last week. After seeing Bryce it's so-so, but there was a trail (like all the Parks darn it!) to a 1600 year old bristle cone pine tree. And this is it! It looks lilke it's 1600 years old.

A visit to Anchorage
Guess what? I made a surprise visit to Anchorage last week. For my birthday, Ed got a ticket for me using miles so I flew up on Saturday nite and came back on Thursday. I didn't get enough time to do alot of visiting, but I shocked my son (who had a panic attack because the house was a mess-which is putting it mildly) and that was fun. For any of you who don't know; Raymond is staying in our house and taking care of it for us. I spent my time playing Mom and Grandma and it was wonderful to be with my family, even for a little time.
I'm back in Utah now and its definitely starting to slow down here and its more relaxed. We are doing more sitting by the campfire and having friends over. Pretty soon it will be autumn and the leaves will be turning colors-another wonderful sight to behold. I miss everyone and hope you are all having happy lives. Bye for now-Vicki & Ed

Another evil place we visited was called Hells Backbone. This was also a scenic backway (which means dirt road and you should have a high profile 4x4 vehicle). This road is 39 miles long and it used to be a mail route to Boulder. They built this bridge in 1935 for this reason over an area called Hells Backbone and its more incredible country.
Two Evil Places
We visited Esclante Staircase National Monument this week. One of the places we saw was the Devils Garden. It's on a scenic backway off of Scenic Hyway 12. There are so many unusual geological sights here that I don't know if we are going to see all of them this summer. It's going by way too fast.
