MORE HALLOWEENIES!!!

I am really happy that my goulish friends remembered to come and visit me this night before halloween.  It made my day.  I haven't a clue who they are, and the masks and outfits seem to get more outlandish each year!  I spose they are looking at this page and laughing.  Anybody got a clue who they are?????

At the alluvian fan, which you'll read about below

Margie on the bridge

Me and Glen at the Alluvian Fan, read below

Enlarge by clicking...very interesting. The rocks for a mile or more are as large as cars and busses. The result of the dam bursting made a huge crevice between the mountains, but in it's place is a beautiful waterfalls and scenery.
Spotted some bighorn sheep!

Christi, Decker and Randy, like mt. goats going up about 1/4 of a mile more. I felt dizzy at that altitude, so Tyler and I stayed in the car.
