Dick's & Teri's 2022 Utah Album |
||
| In
April, 2022 Dick Estel and older daughter Teri Liddle enjoyed a
12-day trip to Utah that took them into four national parks and two
national monuments. The web page with the written report is so big we decided to post the additional photos on a separate page. All photos by Teri and Dick. |
