The Last and First of an Adventure

Dad and I left last Monday for Jackson Hole to place the 24 foot mural in the Jackson Hole Airport. Hunky and Thang came up from Utah. Boy am I grateful they were there. Stephen is a real artist with his tools and really knows what he is doing, his mind is always working towards solving the problem at hand in the most effective way. Michael is a wonderful slave, and we loved spending time with them. ON the way home a herd of big horned sheep right next to the road. There were some massive rams. Both dad and I wished for a big telephoto lens. These big boys, (there were about seven of them) are just lining up. I'm not sure if there was some pecking order but once they were lined up they all lifted their heads stretching their necks out long and single filed moved towards the ladies. The front ram is just starting to get in postion and lift his head.
Here is the line forming.


The finished mural. I will put lots of pictures and detail on Dad's art blog.


Dad and Michael getting ready to unload at the airport.




Stephen walking in the first morning, not your traditional construction clothes, but he gets the job done.
The weather was good for us the whole trip. I'll get to the middle of the trip later.
