Haunts


Is there any one place I would want to revisit in my after-life, I think not, instead, I think there are many places. Places that my family visited or drove through on trips across the country, places that I was to young to remember, completely.

I remember little things, like, driving across a really long bridge/road that was practically sitting on the water. This is a difficult one as no-one can seem to remember exactly, where it was. My mother, believes, it was a memory from when I was a baby, around one and a half, when they took a trip to Oregon.  I have seen pictures of, Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, and it looks a lot like the memory I have, so, who knows... maybe, they went through there on their way to Oregon.  I believe, when I die, I will remember everything from my time alive, even those things I would rather not remember.  I do recall memories of trips to Oregon to see relatives, going to the Botanical Garden (now called the Oregon Garden), in Silverton, and the coastal area in Oregon.

There are memories of, narrow cliff dwellings of the Pueblo Indians in Flagstaff, the beautiful red clay dwellings of the Sedona Valley, and Lake Powell in Arizona.  I recall bits and pieces of these things as well as, the windy city of San Francisco, California, the boat trip across to Catalina and the tour of Alcatraz Island and the prison there.

The trip to the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona and up Pikes Peak in Colorado were unforgettable, and seeing Old Faithful blow, in Yellowstone National Park in California, now a distant and slightly blury, but special memorie.  All memories of our family vacations.

These, and many other vacation sites would be where I would want to return. I would return to relive my happiest of memories, both, as a child and an adult.
