Sorry that the pictures are backwards.
I am having a hard time getting what I type to go with the pictures that I am sending. In the Post below the chapels are in reverse.
Day Two
From Gallup we went to Fort Wingate. The Seminary building is still in very good shape. The custodian was at the building and Michael and I went inside to look around. I took pictures of the outside. It was fun showing Michael where I watched the cat hypnotize the rattlesnake, where the lady ran over the dog and got mad at us children, and the room that where President Kimball conducted Sunday Services with the congregation sitting on 2x12 placed on cinder blocks.
Then we took the exit to Bluewater. Where we lived was impossible for us to get to in Sunny. So I took picture from the new road. The cook hogan was there along with the chicken coops and saddle barn. I also was able to see the water house on the hill. It made me fill very old to see the weathered wood of the buildings. The little hogans were completely gone.
We did one cache in Grants and it took us almost the where the chapel is located. This chapel is in excellent condition too. The hospital is still right across the road. However, they have moved the emergency entrance to the side of the building.

Standing on the Corner
Cliff Dwellers
First Day to Missouri
Michael and I are on our grand adventure! Missouri or bust! Today we have had so much fun. We left at 9:09 am. We needed to reset the clock in the car. At Fredonia we stopped to load the GPS' with the caches for the trip to Gallup. We stopped at Cliff Dwellers, The Navajo Bridge, Valentines Bridge, The Last Great Railroad Hotel, Standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona were the virtual caches that we did today. It was so fun to see these off the main road treasures. The weather was cloudy with occasional rain showers. The rain clouds going across the desert was great to watch. We stopped and bought me another bracelet and made arrangements for my other one to be repaired at the same stand where it was purchased.

Molly's Nipple
When was the last time you looked with wonder at Molly's Nipple? Have you ever thought about being on the top or how to get there? Have you ever climbed to the top? Last Friday was the first time I have ever been up on Molly's Nipple. The view was 360 degrees. Travis, Alisa, and the kids brought our Buick home from Henderson and we took the Suzuki's on our adventure.
The kids were great. It was hot and steep slippery sand in some places. No one complained! What great grandkids we have! The heat got to Aidan and I once we were on top so Michael poured water all over my shirt so I could cool down.
We then went on the Jem Trail for a little 4-wheeling. Then off to dinner at the Dairy Queen with Saddie, Levi, and their kids.
It could have been better only by having the rest of my kids and grandkids there!
