That tiny figure in blue is Diane waiting for me to come down off the Kulkukan pyramid the largest in Chichenitsa - Right off I broke away from the tour group as I would never remember his spiel and climbed all the pyramids there and took many pictures. Later I got sick on the bus from dehydration - but Diane bought me a gallon of agua in a Mayan village and I soon recovered.

This is Watson Lake, Yukon - every outfit coming here must put their name & town on something - there are thousands here including ours. This is the town Wally has tried to fly to Alaska twice and got stuck here due to bad weather and had to fly back home. This was September and 1980?. Helen took this picture of me and Diane in front of a lot of signs.
Tried putting this on my blog 4 times - guess it is on but not on MY blog but will try it again.

This is the LDS church in Grafton, Utah which I took a long time ago - this is a slide - you can see the same shot by watching the movie Butch Cassady and the Sundance Kid.

Picture taken in Bountiful - this is the car that I almost lost in the Sacramento river along with possibly my own life - I had launced my boat at the city ramp but did not know the tide was out - my back wheels got off the concrete in to the mud and I started sliding back to the deep part of the river - had to keep the engine running because turned off it would suck water to the engine and ruin it - after about an hour or so the onlookers got me back on the concrete and the crisis was over. As the car was full of water I soon turned it in for a dry one.

I soon traded that car off.
