Pike's Peak Or Bust

I RODE THE PEAK! Today, Mom, Dad and I rode the trike to the summit of Pike's Peak, elevation 14,110 feet. We were accompanied by our friends, George & Gloria Rink, on their Harley. What an AWESOME ride! It was a great ride up and the sights from the top were fantastic. At the top, I was the center of attention having ridden up on the trike. But, all I got out of it was a bouncy bear toy as a souvenir. Mom and Dad have also visited the gold mining town of Cripple Creek, the Garden Of The Gods, the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame and the Buffalo Bill Museum and gravesite. Mom and Dad also rode over the Royal Gorge Bridge, the world's highest suspension bridge, 1,053 feet above the Arkansas River.

Howdy From Dodge City

Howdy pardners. We are now in the Old West, Dodge City, Kansas. Mom and Dad took me out to chase some prairie dogs today. They are about my size but hid in their holes when I started to get too close. I guess it will be regular dog food for supper tonight. Mom and Dad are going to Boot Hill and the Long Branch Saloon. They don't allow pets so I guess I will have to stand guard at the trailer to keep any wild bushwhackers from taking it.

Branson, MO

We are in Branson, MO in the Ozarks. This is beautiful country but loaded with tourists. Here I am with Mom in front of Dick Clark's American Bandstand Theater. Mom and Dad went to a show there and saw Fabian, Bobby Vee (Take Good Care of My Baby), Brian Hyland (Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini), The Chiffons (He's So Fine) and Chris Montez (Lets Dance). Fabian said the show should be renamed "Seniors Gone Wild". Tomorow we hit the road again.

On The Road Again

Well folks, after 3 wonderful weeks in South Carolina, we are now on the road again. It was great spending time with David & Pat and Trevor and meeting cousin David and his wife Leticia and cousin Heather with her children Emma and David. Emma and David gave me a really cool stuffed duck for m birthday. I have been having fun playing with it. I even enjoyed tormenting Trevor's lab Lenny.

We are now spending a long weekend on The Natchez Trace in Tenn. This is some beautiful county with great motorcycle riding roads. We are slowly working our way to Colorado Springs to visit old friends but we have several stops planned along the way, Cherokee Landing, TN, Branson , MO Wichita, KS and maybe even catch up with some horse thieves or cattle rustlers in Dodge City, KS. I will keep you updated as we visit those towns.

My 1st Birthday

Well folks, today I am celebrating my first birthday and what a year it has been. We have visited 29 States and 5 Canadian Provinces. I have walked on the ocean floor at the Bay of Fundy, ridden the motortrike to the top of Mount Washington, met new cousins and made lots of new friends.

We have 5 more days in South Carolina before we head off to Colorado Springs with stops in Tennessee, Banson, MO and Dodge City, KS. I hope to ride to the top of Pike's Peak when I get to Colorado.

Labor Day

I hope everyone had a nice Labor Day weekend. We had a cookout at Trevor's in Greenville, SC. I got to meet some long lost relatives. I had fun playing with Lenny, Trevor's black Lab. We played alot and ate real well from what people dropped. Today, I helped Mom celebrate her birthday. This weekend we are going to Inman, SC to visit our cousin David Bignell and his wife. I will also celebrate my 1st birthday on Sunday.
