Law Breaking Hike / Grambo

We went on a lovely hike on the outskirts of Kanarraville. We've been on this hike before and loved it because you have water to wade your feet in along the way. A must for a southern Utah hike in July. However, we noticed this time when we arrived they posted signs wanting $10 to park in the dirt area. We drove down the street and found street signs saying "no parking" too, so we parked just behind the last posted sign to be in the clear. I did not want to pay to hike. It's recreation rape. When we came back to our cars at the end of the hike we weren't so lucky, we had violation stickers stuck on all of our cars. They are the gummy stickers that don't come off real easy too. Turns out we missed the sign that said, no parking anywhere on Kanarraville streets. Period. Argh! Kanarraville has a whopping four streets total! Come on!

We still had fun. We got to hang out with Holly, Joc, and Dan, all of my favorites.

We also got to see this guy. His name is Buddy and he is so striking don't you think! He held his hands at ten and two the whole time while riding in the backpack. He'll be a very cautious driver some day.

We stopped to see Grambo later (Mat's Grandma. The Grambo is a nickname for how tough she is) She is 92 and she has her wits about her. She showed us her beautiful remodeled yard and she took us out to eat at the Cafe. A lovely person indeed.

Woohoo for law breaking hikes. Kindly send me those pictures, please? And thanks for saying my child is striking. I think so. Glad we got to hang out.

P.S. Let me know if you get a ticket in the mail.

Kanarraville can't afford to send us tickets since none of us paid for their parking. They've got no money for stamps.
