State Fair
Since Josh was out of town, Chris accompanied on my annual migration to the land of cotton candy, bumper cars, and air brushed t-shirts.
My favorite ride was Speed. It is the tall contraption behind Chris. You are in an open seat, and the cars spin both with the arm and independently. Awesome!
Somehow, I convinced Chris to ride the G-Force with me. It's the tall ride in the middle. You are seated facing outwards, with arms & legs dangling free. It slowly rises, and you sit there for about 10 second, and then, without warning, it slams you toward the earth so hard, the wind is knocked out.

Sunset
We cracked open a bottle of wine and watched the sunset over Roosevelt Lake and Four Peaks.
It was a full moon and Halloween. I warned Leslie that we would probably hear coyotes that night. We did! Right after we went into our tents, a large group of them ran by, howling and barking like crazy. Then, it happened again a little later. It was awesome.
Leslie's favorite part of the trip was the Apache Trail where she got to stare a thousand feet down into the canyon, while her crazy friend was zipping along the serpentine one lane dirt road through the mountains. She spent most of that ride white knucking the car handle.
We were able to relax in Tortilla Flat where you literally saddle up at the bar in the local saloon. We sucked down beers like a couple of miners.
