a day on the train.

This is the country near Williams taken from the train.
This Lady Morgan her name is our guide aboard the train.  She is a very independant sort.  She build her own home all by herself,; lives a solitary life out in the country.  She hauls her own water has solar energy and pays taxes of $ 350.00 a year.  She once was a blackjack dealer.  She was fun.  By the way the train was a real steam engine from the past.  She was really happy she is a history buff and a photographer.. 


We are in real cow country.  They truck water to these cattle during the summer and feed them in the winter.  There thousands of them here but scattered.  We saw a lone antelope near here.



This is an old telegraph line.  It has the old green insulators on the top and some of the original line.


I am not sure you can see the smoke but it is there.


One of the things about the original indiam building is the doorways just fit us.  We being the size they were at the time.



I couldn't get enough pictures of this place.  The sun was out and it wasn't evening so the colors arn't as spectaculer as they would be but none the less this  is an inspiring place.



The little creatures don't beg here.  It is a $5000 fine if a person is caught doing it.  They are still not afraid of people which makes for better viewing in the outdoors.




We were in for a treat.  We saw a few dances and costumes while were here.



The shawdows were starting to come and gave more definition to my pictures.


 Here is Ron showing train we were on.  Ron and I had to walk quite a bit but I noticed a few people used wheelchairs.One had his bike along.  He was following route 66

Here is one of the train entertainers.


We were robbed!!!!

  1. Awesome pictures Mom and Dad! It looks like you are having a lot of fun! I'm sorry I haven't been commenting lately, my computer has been having a lot of problems and I finally realized that I could use John's desktop computer in the room downstairs.
