Last Road Trip


In a few hours, Brian and I will be taking our last road trip together - at least for the next few years. Brian has joined the Army and will leave for basic just after the first of the year. He has always wanted to see the Grand Canyon so here we come!

Motorcycles are ready, bags are packed and we have our maps in hand. First stop will be in Socorro, NM. Lord willing, we will arrive at Grand Canyon Village Sunday afternoon/evening. After two days there, we will move on to see Hoover Dam. As we head toward home, we will stop to see Tom and Ann Perkins. The Perkins are in Military ministry with the Navigators and we worked closely with them while in Germany.

I am looking forward to these days with Brian. He is fun to be with - a good guy. But more than that, he is a young man whom I am very proud to call - my son!
