Black Hills National Forest Here are some of our recent moments. As we enjoyed more of the beauty surrounding us, it became clear that the time had come to exit the road and enter whatever God has for us next. We have been led to purchase a house in Franklinton, LA, "settle", and pursue adoption. Nothing is easy, but when God leads and you follow, it's good. With all of that said, here are more of our recent adventures enjoyed as transition began. Custer State Park South Dakota Needles Eye Tunnel Crazy Horse Memorial, pictured above, is a work in progress. Isn't it safe to say we all are? We don't intend to do the work ourselves. We know One who is completely capable, just, and loving. Why would we ever take matters into our own less capable hands? Life is hard, but God is good! If anyone would enjoy reading about our next adventure😉, just let us know.
With Ninety Six National Historic Site being a main attraction of this South Carolina town, a walk through is a must if in the area. We were warmly welcomed as soon as we entered the visitor center and encouraged to watch the available film to learn more about this town we had never before heard of. It's always eye opening to visit a place so rich in history. One of the first things most people probably want to know is how the town got its name. It was given by Charleston traders in the early 1700's. They believed it was about ninety-six miles from this area to Keowee which was a Cherokee village in the upper South Carolina foothills. Another notable fact associated with Ninety six is that the first land battle south of New England was fought here. This was in 1775. About six years later, in 1781, the longest field siege of the Revolutionary War took place as 550 loyalists defended Ninety six against 1,000 patriot troops. This gruesome battle lasted almost four f...
Coming in at the very top on Utah's list of most visited national parks and third on the entire nation's we have Zion National Park. Since it is rated so high, one must be prepared to battle crowds at every turn. Even that, though, could not overshadow Zion's beauty. Cannon is gaining photography skills as he backs up to frame Mom & Dad in this one while we all do the park sign shuffle😁 And he sweetly poses in front of the camera for his own shots. With the formality all taken care of, let's jump in! Zion Wildlife sightings always make our heart skip a beat! It's time for some tunnel fun! If we have to be walled in, we choose this way. Let's hike! The reward...... Sadly, sometimes you just have to exit the park. Check out those winding roads beneath us😲 Just when we thought the day was done amazing us, we turned our gaze to the right to behold these great creatures. Nice bonus!! Thanks again Utah!! You are pretty spectacular!
