A great GREAT Program on TV
The National Parks of the United Stated
I am lucky to have Lived So Much Yet Seen So Little
Ohio to California - Pre War 39
California to Ohio by "Zephyr" 1944 - with mother - Dad in Army
Ohio to California 1946 by car - over One Lane "Toga Pass" (with turn outs for passing - up & down traffic - Backing-up to get past lumber trucks - Shear Cliffs - Hiding on the floor of the back-set) down into Yosemite (arrived at night in the valley)
Camp Curry that night - recall dad saying as he looked at massive clouds over head - Must Be Going To Rain
In the AM discovered "Massive Clouds" to be the Valley Cliffs
Toured Alaska USAF 58 to 60, before it was a state in 59
Worked Part Time as a Hunting Guide/Packer Alaska 58/60
Co-Judged the Horse Show @ Alaska's First State Fair 59
Roped Wild Horses and Borrows in the late 50's Arizona, early 60's Saline Valley & China Lake (when it was legal)
Rode my horse through "Black Hawk Canyon" Arizona "57"
Instrumental in working with CHP, producing a ride (50 to 60 horsemen+ a Covered Wagon + Radio KEEN inside, down High-way 101 from San Jose to SJB Rodeo. US 101 South Bound traffic directed around us - US 101 was 3 lane - CHP made it 2 lane around Horses
A New Old Friend rode his horse from the East Coast to San Francisco - after quite a fight - CHP Closed down the Golden Gate Bridge and US 101 so Justin-Little-Bit could finish his Horse Ride into SF
