This blog is devoted to the most excellent adventures of Tom and Dee. These adventures include camping, hiking and backpacking; events; and family gatherings. The photo at the top of this blog was taken on March 27, 2008 in the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument in beautiful Southern Utah. Every year we take many hiking, camping, and backpacking and other trips. This is in addition to the few travel events we take by plane to visit family on the east coast. The advent and development of digital photography and technology has permitted us to take and download (to our laptops) our photo archives as we travel and share our photos worldwide with all our friends and family.
