Welcome!

Thank you for visiting The Haley Hiatus, aka Travels with Barkley, where we're tracking our year-long 2010 travel adventure. We'll post pictures and journal entries as we travel the country by a wandering route from Pennsylvania to, ultimately, Alaska and back. If our trip captures your interest, please stop in occasionally to see what we're up to.

Clicking on a photo will make it larger and clearer. For most of the pictures, once the bigger picture comes up, clicking on it again will make it even larger.

Moab, Utah Part 4

April 18th at the Hole N" the Rock House (they use a double quotation mark), 12 miles south of Moab:


The house was built into the rock by Albert and Gladys Christensen, beginning in 1945. Much of the work of creating the openings in the rock and removing the excess stone was done with hand-turned drills and wheelbarrels. Unfortunately, the house was unfinished when Albert died in 1957, but Gladys had completed it by the time she passed away in 1974. Photography isn't allowed inside the house, but look at all the fun stuff they have outside!




Gee, uh, what's the mine boss doing to the miners?
