Yea! Finally getting to visit Patience and little Shannon again.

Oh no! Not that guy again!

Just don't look him in the eye, maybe he'll go away.



If I close my eyes he ain't there. Hmmm, how come grandpa Ken is enjoying this so much?



From the age of 8 until almost 14 Patience has ridden over 30k with me on my summer trips. In that time I think we visited around 30 states also.







When I offered to take her for a walk she instantly got over her shyness, grabbed my hand and off we went.

No shyness at all with this guy.







After our walk, she, I and Patience all went for a ride around the neighborhood.

Like her mother, she was a natural

OK gramps, we're going for another ride, but this time you're sitting in back!



Here we are taking another walk. I think we did at least a mile.

While at it she tried out all of the neighbors toys!

Technically I think it is called Grand Theft Auto 







We've come a long way Baby!

I'm still a kid

Patience and her father at their new business

Patience and Jodie will be running the business. 

They opened the doors in February, but the Covid thing has made the start up a bit of a challenge, although in the end it may actually end up being a blessing.

They are set up for all sizes of dogs with play areas as well as outdoor dog runs.



Individual pens





Ahh, the Fourth of July Family Gathering



Perfect weather

Great Folks

Patience and Dustin



My new friend

A 4th of July Favorite

Looks like we're running low, better go shopping.



I'll bet this is a good store, they even have handicap access.


Very little community fireworks this year, but the locals more than made up for it.

Little Shannon wasn't too impressed with the big booms part of it.

She did like the glitter



Even our God put on a great display!

Helmets and Hash Browns for breakfast Not planned, but we crossed the continental divide 6 times on this trip. Four of those crossing were first for both of us. Boot Heel in Animas Right behind Boot Heel I've ridden past the tiny village of Portal several times always saying I'll stop next time. This was next time. Sherm wanted to check out the Gadsen Hotel in Douglass. We both made the right decision. Meet Portal.......this is all it is until .......... They bring in live music Dead snakes I give you all a better than 50/50 chance of guessing what this car is. 1928 phone number is only 4 digits Ha ve you guessed it yet? Just past Portal is Cave Creek Canyon It's referred to as Arizona's Yosemite A few old historic buildings still in the canyon Along with beautiful rock formations Cutest girl I saw all day! Canopied roads make me feel good In person, they were almost luminescent I think this guy liked Minions I must too........ .......to show them all to you! Okay, but ...

A couple of Honda's at the Hon Dah Some mild Wild Life Enjoying their home on the range. The Little Colorado River originates about 15 or 20 miles from this little town of Greer, AZ. There are several of these little scrub cabins here in Greer. I think they are just some old trapper cabins from the 1800's It is apparent that the firefighters were really working hard to protect them from being lost to the Wallow Fire. In spite of their efforts, many were lost. It's hard to believe that was nine years ago. I might be able to afford to rent this one for a night. Our intended breakfast encounter. Sherm is riding past the Rendezvous Cafe where we were hoping to have breakfast. Unfortunately they weren't open These guys greeted us without pandemic mask when we finally made it to an establishment that was serving breakfast. By the time we finally made it, it was called lunch. After breakfast we decided to ride around the local roads just to see what we might see. Nice old 54? ...
