MORE

Come to find out when Dallas was stuck in the canyon he tried many times to call 911. But there was no service so he said a prayer for the Lord to help him get a call thru. Soon after that prayer his next call went thru and he was able to get an officer down where he was. The officer told him that an officer only goes thru the canyon once a day so he would have been stuck down there a long time. Thanks to the Lord his wait was'nt too long.

The call in the middle of the nite

Have you ever got the call in the middle of the nite. Well last nite we got a call about 12:30 a.m.
Jeanne answered it and this guy said this is Mathew from the AZ Highway dept. is April there. Well She thought it was a joke and asked what he wanted and he said that he would tell April. She said well Im not waking her up and he said good bye. After she woke up a bit she came down and told me what had happened. So I went up stairs and dialed *69 and got a Phone number that called and I called it and it was the AZ Highway dept. So I explained someone named Mathew had called my home and they patched him to me. Well while all this was going on Im wondering who is in trouble. Dallas was in Queen Creek and Ashley was gone. My heart was pounding. The officer got on the phone and said that Dallas had broke down in the Salt River Canyon but was alright and was being towed home. I thanked him for the information and hung up. I tried to call but no answer he was evidently in a no service zone. So I tried to go back to sleep. About 3 a.m. Dallas called the house and was in Show Low and for me to come get him. When I came to get him got the whole story. Someone was going like 15 mph on the side of the road and Dallas decided to pass him then the guy sped up and ran him off the road. He was on the canyon side of the guard rail. and about 10 feet from the edge of a big drop off. He stop just in time then he went to try and get out back to the road. He went for a little while and the truck sounded funny he pulled over then it wouldnt go again. Well n oe he is just sitting on the guard rail and a fox comes up to him growling. Now this isnt normal for a fox to come up to a truck with the flashers on and a human near by. Dallas shined the flashlight on him and he sat there for about 2 minutes and just growled so dallas decide to sit on the hood of his truck until the officer found him. We it was $450.00 to tow the truck and trailer 44 miles. That is highway robbery. Well Im glad he didnt go over the edge. but now we need to take the truck in to get fixed not sure what is wrong. He ran over alot of things. Just another one of Dallas adverntures.

Great View





Well my van ignition stopped working so I got a new one. It stopped working after Ashley, Aaron and my friend cindy and I were out in the middle of no where looking for indian pottery and tools. Well thank goodness it didnt stop out in the middle of nowhere. It waited till we got to cindys house and it has been sitting there for a week. I found out I have to take the steering wheel off to get to it . So when Dallas came home this weekend we went to rent one at checker auto. Well I guess you dont just rent them they make you pay for it then you get all your money back when you return it. Well I thought that was a pretty good idea. So it cost us $14.00 and all afternoon to fix it but Dallas did it. We didnt quite get the blinkers to work again but at least I have wheels.

Well where my friend Cindy lives is next to a pond the the elk like to come down to here are some pictures I took. They came right into her back yard to eat. Wow Ive never been so close she has such a great view.
