2016 National Park Centennial Stamps

By -
 
2016 is the 100th Anniversary of the National Park Service.  To honor the benchmark, the Passport program introduced the Centennial stamps.  Because of this, we have revisited some parks we have been to while in the area this year to collect the special stamps.  The first park we visited in 2016, Death Valley, did not have their stamps yet.  To date, we have collected 58 stamps as of 9/18/16. Our total to date is 63 actual stamps (had 2 more on loose paper but lost them - Zion and Great Basin NP).

Beautiful New Mexico sunrise The area that has no Cow Crossing signs...has cow's crossing! Window Rock, NM His truck was loaded down.  Unsure if he lives in it or sells out of it??   We made it back here...and it was actually opened!! Stage Coach We were able to walk around the whole ranch   The trading post is still open for business and operational. Lots of old shotguns. Interesting that Hubbel Trading Post has Dr Pepper but the Dr Pepper soda shop in OK does not!  We had an orange cream soda They sell the "famous Arbuckles" coffee...but do not offer some that they brew daily and charge $1.     In the barn Beautiful New Mexico landscape We saw this for miles...the two lines went parallel for quite a while...we determine it had to be airforce or someone doing some sort of practice. We rode 66 for a while today.  We are in search of moisture wicking shirts...great for the

We left Nephi and thought Garmen was headed the same way I thought in my mind...well, we were wrong.  However, this little detour on Provo Canyon Road turned into quite a treat.  Lots of waterfalls, hills, mountains and twisties! Didn't stop here since it was only time for beakfast. Liked the name.   I just love all of the rolling colors. Throughout the area near the Flaming Gorge, there are these cool info signs with geological info and descriptions of their meanings or perhaps something that happened in this area in the Prehistoric Era.   One of the greatest byways in Utah!!  Rode it in the car last fall..had to loop back on the back...Glad we did - it was awesome!!!  (despite the rain and clouds) It was quite overcast and at times rainy while in the Gorge.  Sunlight definitely creates the difference in this magical area!   Our initial shot - a rain shot Couldn't leave wit

  The purpose of this trip was to attend an Accounting Conference at Disney.  Only a couple photos to share from the conference and then we were on our way to the west.  We wouldn't have known we were at Disney until the last day when they served Mickey treats - Icecream bars, pretzels and rice krispie treats...all shaped like Mickey.   Shannon was the Grand Prize winner of the TSheets raffle during the conference.  $1000!!!  That should pay for the trip west to Vegas!  TSheets is an awesome time tracking app that we recommend as a solution to our clients.  Dan and Danny are two of the wonder employees on the team.  TSheets is based in Idaho...we visited their home office a couple years ago.   Met up with my cousin Jeff who lives near Tampa. Spent a couple days with Ryan's former driver, Terry and Billie. Ryan hung out with them checking out retired life while I caught up on client calls.   Didn't get so luck at this NWR...it was all sand ro
