During sprint vacation we took Greg (10) and Brad (8) down to see where I grew up. We flew to Phoenix and rented a motor home. We drove to Virden, New Mexico where I was born and grew up as a kid. We went up to the old Pace Gila Valley Ranch and stayed on Uncle Hyde Pace's farm.
I took Kaye and Greg and Brad for a hike up the Gila River where it came out of the San Francisco Mountains. On the cliffs were many Indian petroglyphs. we get on the steep side of the mountain in a very dangerous position. If we would have slipped, we would have went over a cliff down into the river. I decided the safest way was to go straight up to the flat plateau above us. Kaye and the kids went up and I stayed at the bottom to catch anyone that might slip. Luckily we all made it to the top. Greg had found a big flat rock that had a fossilized fern in it, which was very ancient. Then we drove back to Phoenix and flew home.
