CC Does Silver City

March 31 - April 3, 2024

Jamie, our "chosen daughter", paid us a visit with her daughter CC! Last time we saw them, she was just a baby. Now she's a bright and beautiful young lady with a personality as big as the great outdoors!

Welcome to our B & RV!

Uncle Dennis & Marion

Sticker by numbers - reviewing big numbers.

Who's the bigger ham?

Waffles for breakfast!

First stop: La Capilla for a view of the city. But it was COLD!!

Gin rummy at the Tranquil Buzz. We make up the rules as we go, and somehow CC always wins.

Then it started SNOWING! We took refuge at the Javalina.

Late that afternoon, it finally cleared up just long enough to enjoy the wonderful playground in Penny Park.

Luckily the next day was warm and sunny, and we headed north to the Catwalk. We paused to enjoy the view at Aldo Leopold Vista.

In a few short weeks, America's first wilderness will celebrate its 100th anniversary!

Uh oh, the road to the Catwalk is flooded!

Uncle Dennis does not care! :-0

The Catwalk is an elevated walkway in Whitewater Canyon that follows the route of a former water pipeline that served the 1890s mining town of Graham. The Civilian Conservation Corps built the Catwalk in the 1930s as a recreational trail. It traverses a colorful canyon lined with giant sycamores and cottonwoods.

The Iron Bridge - no longer used for traffic, but a great place to watch the Gila River flow.

Taking a break at Bill Evans Lake.

Of all the things we did, the cat tower construction project was clearly the highlight of CC's visit to Silver City.

In no time, it was set up and occupied by cats!

"Forget the dolls and the coloring books, I want to BUILD something!"

Thanks so much Jamie and CC for coming to see us! We can't wait to see you again!
