What a great visit

Corbin and CG
This Fish was caught by CG's DAD when we were just kids, I think it was caught in 1984 and what a monster, especially when I was 13 year old kid!!!

Cole out front of Mom's Cafe in Salina, Utah


Well, Cole and I on our way back up North had it planned to stop on Tuesday morning and visit CG Heath but was thankful he could change plans and take time out of his busy business day on Monday to get some early dinner/dessert at Mom's Cafe in Salina. I think we used to eat often on Sundays as a kid growing up as a family.

Seeing CG was probably on of the best highlights of the year for me. He is a great man!!! We were inseperable as kids until we grew and developed other hobbies....I hate to admit but we got away with ALOT as kids, much of which we both I believe have tried to forget, but luckily we both have wonderful families.....I wish I would have gotten a picture with his family. He took me and Cole around Salina, and eventhough things look the same things for sure change. We also visited his home in Redmond and saw places where we grew up.

Deer Hunt on Mt. Dutton, up above Antimony























Well it was a great weekend. Cole and I went out with DAD up on Mt. Dutton where it was windy and cold but great days as you can see. We rode Saturday all day and Sunday all day. I know it was rough on Cole, a 4 year old but he did GREAT. When asked how many times he complained the answer was zero, and he is right!!! The whole Gleave clan were awesome and it is sooooo awesome to be able to spend time at home up on the mountain getting back with my DAD and spending time with my son. Cole was the youngest on the mountain and my DAD was the oldest....how about that!!!! We were totally prepared for the ride, except I FORGOT sunscreen and my face looks like it. My nose and lips are swollen and painful. But what a great great great time!
Cole was able to see some great and rough country, some shooting of deer, was able to ride the horse by himself on the way down, as I rode on the back, and also got to ride with a dead deer on the horse as well. When asked what his favorite part was he told me it was playing with Mason, Robbie Gleave son who is one year older than Cole. Those two are quite the pair....my concern is in 10 years as we go back and back it to catch those two sneaking off doing things they should not be doing.
We did not go back up Monday, as we decided we better head up north and make our way.....which gave a us a chance to visit Salina!!! What a great time.
