Michael: Saturday the 22nd August

I am finally on the blog Yee har. Today Sat 22 we arrived in Pueblo our stay in Rocky Ford was fantastic RJ and Laura were very good hosts, Had some very interesting discussion about the state for the world. The ambulance Service in Rocky was informative and for a very small community very progressive and able to preform more procedures than our Ambulance Service. It runs with both volunteers and professional paramedics. All in all the ambulance services are very similar to ours same pt. same medical requirements just 18 hrs. away from my home. While in Rocky went to Vogal Canyon to see Petrographs very disappointing due to the vandals damaging what was very old Indian rock carvings. After the walk out to the canyon we went to Steve Berg's home for a swim all the team were looking for a cool off as temp got up to 37 degs. (100 f) its nice after winter at home. Now Pueblo is a very progressive city, fantastic city center redevelopment of river environments and old buildings, have not seen it all yet, went shopping for T shirts and found "life is good" shop and brought 3 shirts and a cap. trend setter me. tomorrow we will go canoeing on a lake in the morning and hikeing after lunch. Tonight we went to Jack and Donna Seilheimer's home for Mexican and we were able to pick up and play with a bull snake everybody had a go, also had chocolate covered chilles did not get to eat them all to hot I think.
