Well, I'm back from the Supai village at the base of the Grand Canyon. The chopper ride down and back up was obviously the hilight of the trip, but the video I took is too large to post here. The little village was INTERESTING. Local dogs were running around (or laying around) free everywhere. The little buildings all have gigantic sheer rock walls behind them. Many of the older Indians would pretty much sit on a bench all day and watch the comings and goings of all the tourists. The few that would talk or even look at me were very friendly and very funny. It was definitely an experience... I didn't have time to go see the famous waterfalls, but I should get to go back in the future to take that in. Here are some pics from the trip.

More photos from the Buffalo Bistro.

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and we were get together with friends. I had the Salmon dish which was really good and Daron had a regular burger. The Birthday Boy - Brian- tried the Rocky Mountain Oysters
Rabbit Rattlesnake Sausage and BBQ Buffalo Ribs. The vegetarians were able to choose from their Vegetarian Meals (whew!)

For those of you who don't know what Rocky Mountain Oysters are maybe their recent festival will clue you in:

The Testicle Festival

At the Buffalo Bistro each year just prior to summer solstice. Listen to live music, participate in a talent contest, play horseshoes or volleyball and feast on Rocky Mountain Oysters.

Live Music, Great Food, Beer and Fun!

NO BULL HERE... COME HAVE A BALL

Unfortunately, I didn't see a date so all of you who are anxious to make your plane reservations I will have to get back to you!

How Cool is MY Husband?

Daron is leaving for a few days to check out a computer network at the Havasupai Reservation.

The Havasupai Reservation is located in one of the most beautiful and remote areas of the western Grand Canyon. The Village of Supai, is located in Havasu Canyon, a southwestern branch of the Grand Canyon, and is accessible only by foot, horseback, or helicopter. The village is the tribal center for the Havasupai Tribe and is noted for its four blue-green waterfalls and camping facilities. Havasupai translates to People-Of-The-Blue-Green-Waters in English. It is an eight mile hike to get to Supai via the Hualapai Trail which leaves from Hualapai Hilltop. This can take from 3 to 6 hours walking or 3 to 5 hours riding, depending upon the physical shape you are in, or how well you ride a horse. Needless to say Daron is taking a Helicopter down!

Well, I finally got the tree that I have diligently been chopping in half for the past 8 months to fall over. A little help from a guy with a tractor was the trick... Then we found a CUTE little baby bunny in the back yard. We basically put him back where we found him and kept the dogs in for the rest of the day, but man was it cute! Sunday we went on a hike with the dogs, but had to cut it short because we thought they both were going to have a heat stroke! Then we finished off the weekend with one of our friend Brian's birthday party at Buffalo Bistro in Glendale, UT. It was not exactly a "Best Friends" endorsed party. The menu included "oysters" coming from the bovine family....... Wild boar ribs, rattlesnake & rabbit sausage, duck sausage, and buffalo sausage. We had a great time! Jennifer took a great picture of a cat while she was working Saturday too.

Outside of our window at work we have bird feeder. The crazy birds fling bird seed all over as the seek out the most savory seeds. The turkeys and rabbits clean up the rest.

Now accepting applications for neighbors! This house is right across the street from us and it is for sale! Not bad for a manufactured home, and you can't beat the neighbors you would have...

Last week we had a two day "retreat" for our division. Here is the photo of the group. Some of the staff lives here in Kanab but a couple of the girls live in L.A., one is fromTN, a couple Canadians, one is from Boston, on is from New Jersey and so on. This group runs the network. Visit it at www.network.bestfriends.org and find out what is happening with companion animals in your state.
