It is so nice to wake up in the morning knowing we do not have to get on our bikes. The only sprocket Kit got near was Sproket, the pot-bellied pig she met at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. While Bill painted at the Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Kit took the tour, Martha having done it last year. It is a huge, incredibly well-run, no-kill sanctuary...the best of the best.
Angel's Canyon, where Best Friends is located is so beautiful, and the site of many Western movies.
While Kit was enjoying all the well-cared-for animals, Bill headed to Coral Pink Sand Dunes for photographs and painting.
In the afternoon we headed (by car) to the home of Maynard Dixon. He is well known in Taos having spent one year living and traveling there, primarily before he moved to Mt. Carmel. What a lovely setting with a main house, bunkhouse, studio, and contemporary gallery. Bill had toured it yesterday, so it was Kit and Martha's turn while he painted. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and we recommend it to anyone traveling in the Kanab area.
Thanks for telling us how we can contact you! You need to know we ARE following. In my case, with loads of admiration and less than zero envy. My gawd, what shape you must be in.
ReplyDeleteKit, do you know Marfa comes by this posting stuff honestly? Her dad kept the most wonderful diaries of his travels. The Scotland ones inspired and guided me. Don't be deceived into thinking CLOB will do either for me.
Soldier on, friends, and know we're thinking of and marveling about you.

The scenery is fabulous and I bet your quads are the biggest ever and your lung capacity amazing.
ReplyDeleteWe just arrived back from a great trip to MI. The weather was unusually warm but we were most eager to return home to NM.
Glad you have a day off now and then and look forward to seeing you soon. Love, Sandy and Alan
You ladies are Absolutely Amazing!!! And Bill, what a trooper and great guy for being their guide and caretaker. I've really enjoyed reading your posts and hearing about your adventure. You're all an inspiration. Love Cindy
ReplyDeletePS. It's great to see you painting Bill.
