Our girl just turned 52. I have been thinking about her family 

and all the weather they are having. On the maps she is right in the middle. 

In 1956 we were snowed in for days at Colorado Springs. Everyone just stayed home, except

Mary Ella was a nurse and she had to stay at the hospital till it was all over.

Our snowman. (Snow Bunny). The apartment was very tiny.

Steven having fun

***** 

This was a Helicopter Skiing trip 

to Cananda. Here's Steven & Patti.

The Helicopter takes groups up the mountain and drops them off.

Mike, Steven, David A. were in the top group,

they had a vertical drop at about 120,000 vertical feet.

Patti and I were in the slow group, we had 80,000 vertical feet. 

The Helicopter company get paid on the drop distance.

We were doing runs of 4,000 vertical feet. Squaw Valley has a drop of about 2000.  

When we would get to the bottom of these long runs I would hope for a rest, but a copter would have us at the top in a very few minutes. My legs were like jelly.

For Saturday, January 10th

I believe this picture was taken at the top of the huge Pyramid of the Sun.

Mexico, about 1978.

It was a long way to the top. When we came down I crashed

 and the kids climbed to top of the Pyramid of The Moon

A comparison of "Pyramids", the one in question is the dark green shape.
