Some Excitement

This article was in the Journal news. Rockland County. It was pretty exciting. We were right in the midst of all this. So many reporters, ambulance, helicopters and of course the police. Just a little bit of excitement in our humdrum lives. There is a video if you check it out on the web page of the journal. www.thejournalnews.com

2-state chase ends in arrests
Video by Vincent DiSalvio
One man was shot in the arm and another taken into custody by police July 27, 2007 at the end of a wild chase that began in Paterson, N.J., and crossed two major bridges and six counties.


Rockland, the men were charged with first-degree attempted murder, assault with intent to cause physical harm to a police officer and first-degree reckless endangerment, all felonies.


"There's going to be other charges in other jurisdictions as well," Dietrich said, adding that the men would be charged by all New York agencies first before being charged in New Jersey.


The attempted-murder charge was deemed necessary by the Rockland County District Attorney's Office after interviews with the officers involved. "I can't get into exactly why because it's under investigation," Dietrich said.


The Greenburgh Police Department is looking into its role in the chase. Shots were fired from the pickup as it raced along Interstate 287 through town. Police there would not say yesterday how many shots were fired nor where they were fired.


"It's an active investigation, and there's no comment at this time," Sgt. Chris McNerney said.


Police said Friday that shots were not returned by police during the chase.


Bill Maer, spokesman for the Passaic County Sheriff's Department, said that once the men are handed over, they will probably face charges of attempted murder, eluding police and assault, and various narcotics charges and traffic violations. That department's attempted-murder charge would stem from an assault on a woman shortly before the chase began. The woman had connections to the men, Maer said.


While other vehicles were heavily damaged, Dietrich said the Clarkstown department's cars came out of the chase relatively unscathed.


"They all got dings in them or undercarriage stuff," he said. "It was a high-speed chase and it went over some rough terrain."

July 2007

The month is almost over & we will be heading to NY for a few weeks. Time to visit more family members. We have been visiting many members of our families & friends. It's been a good visit for both of us. It's been a good visit so far with everyone. It is so great to see everyone that we don't get to see to often. We've missed all of our friends & family.

Well Donny came home safe & sound from overseas. Everyone missed him dearly. I want to thank all my friends (especially Dianne) that supported him & sent him letters, that meant so much to him.

The Keys

The beginning or the end of Route 1. Maybe this year John & I will get to the other end. Would that be the beginning or the end of Rt. 1?

Key West John & I went to the keys in January. The weather was beautiful. We enjoyed our time in Key West. Friends of ours were staying in the same park & we went to Key West together, touring, eating & shopping.
They grow those birds big down here. Hanging out with the fishermen.

Leaving for Kuwait



I am very proud of my son serving his country. Scared but proud. He will be overseas for 7 months to a year. I am praying for his safe return. His children are missing him already.




Jay made it down to Virginia to say good bye. It sure was a nice visit.

Yellowstone Sightings

Weird Vehicles




These RV's are from Germany. A little different from ours.


Yellowstone Winter Tour Vehicle


The front tires have ski's on them.





Touring during the winter snows made easy. Notice the tires. I guess these vehicles have no problems in the snow.


Yellowstone Animals
Please check back for more photos
We did see plenty of wild animals on this trip. On the way out of the park we saw a grizzly bear but of course it was a short sighting & I was unable to get the camera in time. This was a dissapointment for us.



I think this eagle was just waiting for us to pass by.



Look carefully and you can see 2 birds on the back of this elk. He struggled to get those birds off his back but he wasn't successful.






Every morning I watched this coyote. One morning her pups came out to play. There were 4 gray pups.






This baby was blocking traffic & then just casually walked past our motorhome. It was actually that close. This photo was not zoomed in.

This is one stubborn traffic jam.

Grand Tetons Nat'l Park

Grand Teton
July 27,2006

The Tetons scenery consists of sagebrush flats, meadows & wetland, lakes, ponds & rivers, alpines & forests. The added bonus is the wild life. You can wake up in the morning to buffalo passing your campsite as well as moose. We've seen moose walking right past our campsite. I can't even count the number of buffalo we've seen. They cause traffic jams. They will walk right out onto the street.



As of this writing I haven't seen any elk. My last trip here we saw several large bull elk. We are still looking & will keep you updated.


The mountain range is awesome. Snow still on its peaks. The nights are cool, the days are hot. Riding the bike through the Tetons gives a different view than with the car. We are enjoying the ride.
