The Bridge and Goodbye

We had many cool cloudy days in a row so Sherri and I decided to go for a hike into the canyon, of course we saw few clouds and it was 90 deg, two miles down.

We hiked another mile down to Red Wall Bridge and that was far enough on a warm day. A picture of Sherri proves we made it to the bridge.

September 6th was Ryder's 4th birthday and September 10th I had a birthday. Ryder was much happier on his as I wound up working 14 hours on mine. Oh well, I've had many good ones in the past and hopefully good ones to come. Here is Ryder with a big smile on his birthday.

Last Sunday the Gift Shop said Goodbye to our international associates, Rebecca and Sunny. It was a fun pizza lunch but sad to say goodbye to a couple of good employees and great people.

We also said goodbye to Micky, she is one of the hardest workers I have ever been associated with. The final month will not be the same without the folks who left last week. Another international associate, Geeno also finished up this week. Somehow I did not get a picture of Geeno. Micky is pictured below on the right receiving a gift from Jodi.

The Gift Shop is now very short on associates and with one busy month to go it will be a challenge. Fall is in the air up here at 8,300' with highs in the 60's and lows in the 30's. The next weather system will probably bring some snow.
