We've been having fun (currently at Bingham Mine in Utah, one of the largest open pit mines in the world), and are doing well, but haven't had WiFi, so I haven't been able to post.  Also my phone battery died and isn't charging through the USB port. Dad's iPhone is our only means of communication and Internet (and how I'm posting this).

We will be at Zion NP for 3 days, then the grand canyon, so probably won't be able to post until sometime next week.  

Best way to reach me will be at rich1@umbc.edu .

We look forward to sharing our stories and pictures as soon as possible.
