Thanks Barb & Regina; Barb, I really can't believe that my Grandma did some of the things that she did when she was young! Unfortunately I did not inherit that quality from her--don't I'd want to climb out on that rock the way she did!!!!
Thanks Bill! I was totally shocked r.e. the award! Congratulations to you, too--I saw your blog listed as well! Looking forward to visiting all 100 websites this weekend!
Those are such interesting and historical photos! Thanks for sharing them.

Betty, It is just amazing that they lived to tell about this adventure, never mind shooting pictures. Your grandmother was so brave!
