This year we went back through LA, TX and NM to Utah and Colorado. The boys' first main attraction was of course Cabela's in Fort Worth, then on to The Canyonlands NP and Arches NP, before heading through Colorado to the Dinosaur Monument. Our destination was the Grand Tetons NP and Yellowstone NP again, then the boys of course had to stop at the Bass Pro Shop in Springfield, MO again before heading home.

These are some great pictures that you all took. It is almost like being there in person. Thank's I enjoyed them very much. It has been a long time since I was out in that part of the country. And I still say that is most beautiful part of this country. - Jack Sheffield, Thu, 15 Jun 2006 10:21PM
