MOMMA Part 6: Never Let a Dead Squirrel Go To Waste

Somewhere on Route 66, it was the end of the road for one unfortunate squirrel.  Eulogizing the deceased rodent, Russ concluded that one should never let a dead squirrel go to waste.  Fortunately, we had just passed the cafe shown above.  Note:  photo of dead rodent removed so as not to offend.

This is a good time to add a few photos showing the beauty of the Arizona landscape.  Probably should have focused on that during the trip. (pun intended)

Grand Canyon, Bright Angel Trail

Russ and I hiked down this trail to the point in the center of the  photo.  Steve was with us for a short distance but kept visiting with people coming up the trail, and he lost his focus.  On our way back up, two young Hasidic Jews, drawn to Russ's crazy beard, stopped, pointed at it, and insisted he must be one of them.

As I write this installment, we are on our way Vegas, where we will relax a bit, sleep in a bed--hopefully not all in the same one--and catch an early flight tomorrow.  The next post will be the final entry of MOMMA 2011.  Kudos to Russ for the great photo of the waitress!
