Update for 10-8-06

We are totally out of cell phone range and didn't have internet either yesterday. However we are in Escalante today and will spend two days here seeing the Escalante grand staircase and state park and one other thing. If you have been watching the news Utah has had some horrific storms, very unusual for them, and flash floods. We haven't been bothered by it yet but we may find some things not accessible today due to rock slides etc. We ate at Hell's Backbone Grill last night and it was all organic food,. Delicious, not all vegan, but at least very healthy. Yesterday we saw Bryce Canyon and it was again spectacular. I can't think of another word to use to describe it. We can't find a camera store anywhere but Joe filled up Ed's camera disc and now he is deleting some to have more room For those of you who know Joe well, he takes hundreds of picture each day on a trip like this. So the one disc Ed has doesn't quite make it. He continues to feel well except for the queeziness which is back. His headache is gone. Yesterday we walked two trails and probably a total of 4 miles. We are getting our exercise and drinking lots of bottled water. Michael, our son, bought Joe some great running shoes so he is wearing those for our walks. Yesterday we saw Quail, a beefalo (not a buffalo), chipmunks, two golden eagles and jackrabbits. It is so nice to see wildlife in their own terrain. Please keep praying for health and safety. We so appreciate your support.
Take care God Bless Mary Anne
