Today we got the hiking that we had planned for Saturday. We went down grasshopper Canyon which was this beautiful deeply carved can you walk that ended in some really cool pools. It was nice and cool and super interesting from the standpoint of the rocks and plants

When we came home we finished off the bench that Becky had made… Max had welded up some brackets and we hung them in the front porch. It’s really beautiful and comfortable

This was our last night all together so we decided to do something really special. We watched a mutant insect Horror movie from 1954 called “them!)” .It was about some mutant ants that have been zapped by the first atomic bomb test just south of Albuquerque New Mexico… The first part of the movie was all about New Mexico…

Then two of the mutant queens escaped… One ended up in Los Angeles underneath the streets… Wouldn’t you know it was the sixth Street aqueduct… Which is exactly where we got our water every week for the colony. It was literally 200 yards from where we stand.… It was really cool seeing the same scenes that we knew from a few years ago from almost 60 years ago.

Here’s a mess… The six street aqueduct is on the lower left… 615 Anderson where we lived for two months is directly across the river on the right

What a great stay!

Really nice vacation

Nite all, nite sam
