Sock Monkey's Grand Adventure

We took Sock Monkey along on our trip...these pictures are mostly

in order, except for this one.....Monkey saying hi over a mountain stream!

Monkey read alot of signs!

Here the ever-talented monkey is reading a sign about Zebulon Pike....

upside down!

Monkey loved the Great Sand Dunes, so he hugged the sign...

Here monkey is re-enacting Gail's great fall....We were somewhere down

a very long county road, in the middle of nowhere, when I tripped over this

rock, took a few stumbling steps, slammed into the car and fell to the ground

like road kill! haha! Surprised I didn't put a dent in the car!

Monkey took alot of naps and missed out on some of the sights.

Richard took this picture of monkey enjoying another mountain stream!

Monkey liked New Mexico!

Find the Monkey!

Monkey relaxing after dinner one night..we had a picnic at a town park.

Monkey wanted to know where the butterflies were!

Monkey thinking he might be car sick.

Monkey getting his "bearings" back at the top of the Spiral Drive in Salida, CO

Atop a post overlooking the town of Salida. Monkey said he wasn't sure he

was going to do that again! Very scary!

In the morning in front of one of our hotels....

Monkey likes the sound of the mountain stream.

Pretty view!

What a good monkey!

Monkey sad.

This would have been funnier if I had put the monkey in the bear's mouth! I

didn't think of doing that until later..

Hanging high......

Monkey says "this is a big rock!"

Heading home...somewhere in Western Kansas..

Helping drive....

"this is a long ways"   ........"are we there yet?" hahahha

We had fun now and then on the trip getting monkey out for pictures...Probably sounds weird, but it was fun!
