Today I brought back the money I found on yesterday's run.  The store owner wasn't there, but his father was.  He seemed genuinely surprised.  I hear the perp made off with about $2000.  I suggested that we try and follow the trail of money to find the culprit.  Then my 7-year old daughter said, "Yeah.  And then we kill him."

Here's a picture I took of the majestic Hualapai Mountains overlooking Kingman.

Here's an elevation profile for Flatlander.

Nice picture.

Regarding your daughter, I don't think Dexter would approve.

"Follow the money trail." Nice one. That's funny. (No sarcasm, that really is funny.)

From Burt on Tue, Jan 04, 2011 at 10:59:28 from 72.223.84.236

PRE - Do you mean Hannah Montana?

Chad - It wasn't meant to be funny. JK.

In order of "like"

1. Returning the money

2. Elevation profile

3. Mountain photo

That was a great weekend adventure. The runs that involve mud, climbing fences or hitchhiking are always the best runs. I'll have to add convenience store robberies to the list.

You actually have mountains in AZ? I thought you lived in a desert.

From PRE on Tue, Jan 04, 2011 at 23:59:57 from 99.50.214.225

Hey Burt...not Hannah Montana. I was referring to the Dexter series.

loving the view!

From Kelli on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 19:46:44 from 71.219.84.215

What did I miss? The money was stolen?

From Kelli on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 19:50:03 from 71.219.84.215

Never mind, I found it in the comments.

From Burt on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 23:20:36 from 72.223.84.236

Here's an article on the robbery. I guess they haven't caught the guy yet.

allie - I posted the picture you wanted on my Jan. 8 blog.
