Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday November 30, 1988 - Page 12 I also directed my air traffic controllers to Citadel House which I have personally viewed only from a distance. They found it and appeared again offering to hold my hand, one on each side, to get me into the ruins. Citadel House is approached via a sort of sidewalk with sheer cliffs straight down a hundred feet or so on each side; That time I stayed with my sewing machine and flannel. So, I am still waiting to venture someday into Citadel Doris Valle My dog Gus and I have this problem. We have retired to the computer comer at my house and turned everything on to produce a column but a search for notes on local activities is in vain. Things must be happening out there. I see people driving up and down the highway, and occasionally I hear voices. But I am at work at my desk either upstairs or down, or I am buried under yards of flannel as I attempt to make the traditional Christmas nightgowns for my daughters. Or else I have been tempted. Again. And I have slipped away to hike along a trail or scale a canyon wall. Yes, we did have snow here and fog and slush on the highway. I drove to Blanding in snow so heavy on Lime Ridge that I could not see if Coreys cows were contemplating suicide on the road or not. The Valley of the Gods was beautiful with wisps of fog floating between the monuments and a snowy frosting on their tops. But after three days last week, the icy fingers of winter again moved on to other prey and the sun shines warm on our heads as it did before the storm. A week ago Saturday I was firmly committed to sewing machine duty when six campers came in the store looking for me. An old hiking buddy, J.C. Stimson of Las Vegas, had given them my name. They wanted someone to guide them to Poncho House. I said I was too busy and then walked outside where a bright and beautiful day sang its siren song. So six Salt Lake City air traffic controllers and I waded Chinle Wash and climbed up the canyon wall into the always there but not enough to stop under the blankets with the smell of frying bacon and perking coffee. So we took a short hike on Cedar Mesa, exploring the ruins atop the knoll in Shecks Flat. There was a little snow up The Storm Gods had better get down this way again. HOWTO GET A SMART UAL OS A GOOD HOME SPECIAL INCENTIVES Then last Saturday John Sanders and his family appeared and again I deserted my appointed tasks and had a couple of wonderful hikes. We took the easy way down the side of Butler Wash to gaze in awe at the Wolf Man petroglyphs, then scrambled down the side of the wash and across to examine a ruin we could see across the Take advantage of the following incentives: $500 Downpayment to owner occupants on FHA insured properties. ed fascinating Poncho House ruins.

House. Those bruises on my knees are from a struggle up a sandy ditch. That soft slippery sand always gives me a graphic lesson in the law of gravity as I start up on my feet, get down on all fours, and finally make it up an inch at a time using teeth and fingernails. The water in that wash is pretty icy, also. Its the same old story of the ones younger, longer-leggewho leap flatfooted across chasms while I stand there declaring Ill never make it. Theres just too much of me to get airborne. When it comes to a choice between staying where I am alone or jumping, I try, totter on one side, jump, and land on my knees sliding down, down, from which precarious position John retrieves me. When it came time to recross the wash, John went ahead of the rest of us and built a little bridge. I think he must have considered the fact that if he grabbed at me as I jumped he, too, might land kersplash in the icy stream.
