dartonman Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 It all started last Friday night....we packed up the 5 kids, two inlaws, and brother in law...rented a 12 passenger van, and the 10 of us drove straight to Eagle Colorado from Northern Illinois..non stop. We spent the next night in Colorado, woke up early, and drove all the way to Williams, Arizona..aka Grand Canyon Railway Inn, and spent three days at the Canyon, Sedona, Arizona, and then it was on to Las Vegas, Nevada...spent two days (I want back in my life..lol) then it was on to Tombstone, Arizona, which I loved...and then, after one night in Tombstone...we were enroute to Roswell, New Mexico to look for aliens...did the Roswell thing, and enroute home we came...........I will post pics when the return from all the disposable camera's, my new digital one got wet before we even made it to Colorado.....saw lots of snakes, scorpions, and antelope and mule deer.....and I truly believe Missouri is the capital for Armadillos killed on the roadside.....and Utah has the prairie dogs dead on roadside vote...........had a great time, lots of memories, and met alot of Realtree fans along the way.....and if any of the 6'5-6'8 300 pound men (construction workers) from Oklahoma read this post, it was awesome to meet you at the pumps getting fuel, and seeing those Realtree hats worn with pride...........God Bless gang, its good to see the forums again........and be in the flatlands of Illinois, I call home........al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Good to hear you had a good time, and made it home safe and sound. It's nice to see I'm not the only one who notices what camo hat folks are wearing. It's always a great conversation opener, ain't it.

Jeramie Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Long Trip! Btw, we spent a night or to in Las Vegas too (the po-dunk town, not the tourist attraction). Im still seeing my therapist about that weekend.... There isn't squat in Roswell either, however, every store there sales alien memorabilia! Welcome back bud! Glad you guys had a great trip.
