An opening appeared in our new schedule. We could take off, head into Nevada, and spent three nights out. We did just that. Our photos and story on this quick trip is completed and posted to our blog -

Ski thanks for taking us along on this fun trip.The old buildings you search out and find
are great.It's always amazing to see how people before us have lived off the land.
Thanks and best wishes and a quick recovery on both knees to Julie.

As they say on Broadway: Break a leg, Lady! Best wishes for the procedure and the recovery.

On a trip report note, I believe we're in the 8th to 10th year of the systematic re-naming of topographic feature names having offensive connotations to Native Americans and all ethnic groups. Many former "Squaw" features already have new names.

Nice report - great area. Best of luck with the knee surgery. Five years post op on one replacement and we are fortunate to have this type of medical practice to keep us active and out there.

Thanks for another interesting and nicely photographed trip report. Please pass our best wishes to Julie on the upcoming surgeries. Your cousin, "the Big Guy" hit the nail on the head . . . . with all of the hiking that you two do, her knees have earned some reinforcements! - R & G

The Lady says thanks to everyone for the kind well wishes on her new knees. Now that she's made the decision and everything is set (including all that most important post-op rehab), she is so excited! She had the goal of making her knees last as long as they could. She out did herself on that one.

I says thanks too. It is a great group of kind and caring people who hang out on Wander the West.

Yes, we are making progress with needed changes to geographic names for the better. Many times when I study historic maps of our area, there are a lot of "WOW!" moments seeing the old names once commonly used. But, I'm a bit of an historian. I appreciate it when we learn from our past and make good changes because we are moved to. I'm also an outdoors person. We do need to look at the past, and remember, to plot a better path into the future.

Thanks Frank! Every discovery leads down a path......................................
The old stone buildings brought many questions such as who settled this place? Where was all the stone quarried? How long has this place been abandoned? So many stories haunt the land we travel across.

So true Taku. We wish continued success with your new knee. I expect the Lady will make an interesting test subject on a double knee replacement. Thanks for the kind comment!

I have friends (retired PE and coaches) whose lives have been transformed by the surgery...good luck to The Lady. And thanks for the TR, I must add this to the list.

Thanks Richard! We about ready to head down to the big city and get this all going. The Lady is so excited to get on the road to recovery.

Good luck, Julie, with the surgery and the recovery. We need more photos of you standing on new promontories with your see-mores surveying your realm.

Paul, your very kind comment gave Julie a big smile, thank you!

Surgery was last Friday afternoon. All went well. I brought her home yesterday (Saturday) afternoon and she is doing very, very well. She can freely move around the house with the walker and is up more than down. A series of 5 post op exercises to do 5 times a day. Julie "always a teacher" has the schedule on the broad. Only thing we're missing is a buzzer to signal the end of class.
