Willie and Butch are cousins.
Willie and Butch
Max and Uncle Bill
The only thing old about Uncle Bill is his body and even then his movements are quick and sure. He keeps up on the latest of everything and remembers all the old stuff too.

Butch and Uncle Bill look over a cabin in which a gunbattle took place over the State in which Susanville should be associated, California or Nevada.

My sis Myrla was telling me about the great art displays they have at the Mayo Clinic. She took her trusty digital camera along on their next visit and snapped some pictures so I felt inclined to share them with all of you.

Last night we were in Weed California with MT. Shasta for a view. Today we arrived in Susanville CA, settled in and got in touch with Uncle Bill and his daughter Willie and her husband Max. We had an enjoyable meal at The Apple Peddler and talked about all the relatives both living and dead.

A Scenic Byway in Oregon
This is what I thought Oregon would look like before I had been here. Now I know it is only one small part.
Forest Leaves
This is a Swiss couple traveling the USA by bicycle. They hope to retire and travel the USA in a motorhome...See? ...All kinds of folks think it sounds like fun!
These berries were growing out of a lava bed.
The Sisters
Sahalie Falls- A tiny little Oriental girl asked her Daddy if they were going to turn off the pump.
Butch took this shot and he too has a knack for seeing a good shot. It is further downstream from Sahalie Falls.
