Dodger Stadium Los Angeles, California Team R H E St. Louis Cardinals 7 12 0 Los Angeles Dodgers 9 11 1 Highlights For those of us who observed Derek Lowe at the end of his stay with the Red Sox, this was eerily reminiscent. However, due to the more than inefficient pitching of the Redbirds, […]

Game 10
Game 9 – Petco Park
We arrived in downtown San Diego in time to walk around the historic part of the downtown – The Gaslamp Quarter before heading to the ballpark. At the ballpark it was 70’s Retro Night. A radio station was giving out 70’s black afro wigs, some of the fans were dressed in disco style clothing and […]
Game 9
Petco Park San Diego, California Team R H E St. Louis Cardinals 0 3 0 San Diego Padres 7 10 1 Highlights This was a totally one-sided affair and unfortunately for the world champs it was in the home team’s favor. The Padres’ Russell Branyan provided all the offense that would be necessary when with […]
Phoenix to Yuma
We drove through farm country that lead right up to the mountains! We stopped at the Painted Rocks Petroglyphs Site. We arrived in Yuma to find the temperature a toasty 100 degrees. Mornings and evenings were comfortable but midday we stayed inside with the air conditioner running. Hard to believe only a few days before […]
Game 8 – Chase Field
Not a lot of hoopla here. This is a nice stadium in downtown Phoenix. It has a retractable roof, which was open for this game. On the scoreboard prior to the start of the game they show the “roof status” and it shows that it was 87o outside and 74o inside for this game. There […]
Williams to Phoenix
On May 6th, we drove through Oak Creek Canyon, which was a thrilling drive from the top of the mountain down to the bottom of the canyon. There were many switchbacks and the road was narrow but the views were worth it. We went this route instead of the interstate in order to stop in […]
Game 8
Chase Field Phoenix, Arizona Team R H E Philadelphia Phillies 3 7 0 Arizona Diamondbacks 4 10 0 Highlights Zzzzzzz. Despite the score, this one was a yawner. A very subdued crowd of 19,562 had little to cheer about through most of this game. However, there were a few bright spots not the least of […]
Traveling from Cortez, CO to Williams, AZ
We got an early start today because the weather forecast was for high winds. They were right – we had sustained winds of 25 – 30mph with occasional gusts of up to 50mph. It made the driving difficult at times and Mark was sure glad when we arrived at the campground. Despite the wind, the […]
Cortez, CO and Mesa Verde
On Wednesday, May 2, we visited Mesa Verde National Park. It was very interesting. Mesa Verde was home to the Ancestral Puebloans for more than 700 years. Their dwellings were built high on cliff walls in alcoves. Since these alcoves are protected from the elements, they are among the best-preserved cliff dwellings. There are Park […]
Game 7 – Coors Field
Coors Field is located in the Lower Downtown part of Denver. Clay picked us up at the campground; we had lunch and then went to his apartment to watch the Boston Red Sox game for a while before taking the train into the game. Coors Field is a great stadium with a view of the […]
