For years I paid the price...

....the 80 smackeroos it cost me to procure a season pass but as of today and a mere 10 bucks, I can enter any National Park for the rest of my life....for "free ninety nine..."
On the way up, we visited the old ghost town of Grafton and explored the old buildings and Randy especially enjoyed the old farm equipment. Our little "couple of hour" trip turned into the whole day as we ventured on up through the tunnel to Mt. Carmel Junction where we dined at a little "hole in the wall" diner where the sign said "Good Food, Good Price" but we were greeted by the girl at the cash register with..."um....if you can finish in 30 min. we can seat you. We have a bus of 60 people coming in." We assured her that we would eat quickly and we enjoyed the food and the price. Then on over the mountain to Duck Creek and on down the freeway home....oh, my...it was a picture perfect day. Happy Thanksgiving......grateful people are happy people.
