Healds and Ken Levan

Ken & the Healds meet in Aztec, NM |
| Ken grew up just down the street from the Aztec Ruins. We enjoyed touring them with him. |

Nice stone work |
| View through interconnecting rooms |

Ken said his Boy Scout Troup used to hold their meetings in this kiva. |
| Passing through Moab, Utah |
 |
 |
Typical southern Utah views |
| This is site # 6 at Dead Horse Point State Park. Great views and night time star gazing but really poor TV reception which is not surprising. |
 |
Fantastic view of the Colorado from Dead Horse Point! Potash Road visible in foreground.
 |
A photo op where you should not step back! |
| After enjoying the scenic vistas, it was time for a raft trip on the Colorado. |

Pictures were taken on the calm stretches of the river. Cameras were stowed away when we heard the rapids ahead. |

There was nothing stronger than Class II rapids on this section of the Colorado. |

The Moab area has some nice petroglyphs. |

On our way back from the rock art tour, we saw this jeep club playing on the Moab Rim 4WD trail. |

All too soon it was time to leave Moab. Here is Ken and his Airstream by Wilson Arch.
