Monumental day . . .













Last week we hit a milestone at the Moqui Cave. After 16+ years we are finally getting a sign! My grandpa had a sign you couldn't miss for miles and then when my parents retired the dinosaur and built the cliff dwellings my parents just never put one up. Its still a work in progress but there is a buzz in the air at the Chamberlain house hold. Another monumental note. In the making of the sign Chamberlain was able to get his "Junior" Crane Operator License, courtesy of Joe. Chamberlain got to raise, move and lower the crane as well as drop the ball. It was an exciting day to say the least, we spent all afternoon at the cave watching the crane hoist the 15 foot monument onto its eternal bed. There was some sacry parts when the straps started to slide and the chains started to buckel but alas it was put to rest. To kill sometime while waiting for the cement to dry I took Chamberlain to my favorite place at the Cave. A little alcove where I spent most of my time as a kid. It was such a great day.

So, we just got back from Lake Powell & I came by the Moqui Cave on Sunday (obviously it was closed) to see if by chance any of you would be there! I was hoping you would, but NO. I did however get to witness the big sign you are putting up:) Love It! Text me when you get into town!

Oh man, it's a little boys dream. Glad you could leave Kanab on a high note for Chamberlain.

Let's get together soon
