How Did You Come Up With Your Title?

Well, years ago we were on vacation in Colorado in my grandparents suburban and trailer. We took a scenic route my mom found on the map and as we started up we stopped and ask some road workers if we could get through with our rig and of course they said yes. Off we went on a 60 mile trek that took 3 hours or so!! It was such a bad road that when we got to the end, my dad pulled off on the side of the road, turned off the suburban and got out for a breather! Well, the road consisted of switch back turns where at times if we were meeting a car, they had to back up until we could pass. There were no guard rails, it was gravel, there was a trestle bridge that was not straight and it at one time had been a railroad route. We did find Cripple Creek which at the time was not a place to gamble. It was a really neat town where we went down into a gold mine called the Molly Kathleen Gold Mine and a really neat store called the Brass Ass which we have always called the Brass Donkey. We had a really good time visiting even if the trip was a little (ok a whole lot) nerve wracking. Now we tease my mom about our scenic tour quite often. When my sisters and I talked about doing this blog, we all agreed on the name because this journey we are beginning is like our trip down Phantom Canyon, we don't know how the trip will be but we have faith that we will make it all the way through and come out OK on the other side.

We want to keep you up to date on what mom is going through (and us too) and to ask you to pray for my mom whenever you read the blog.
