January 1996

I planned a day to go on a "Gypsy Jaunt" with the kids.  My mom used to take me and my brother and sisters on them when we were little.  You make up a bunch of notes, and then go for it!

We're going to have a FUN day,

On our Gypsy Jaunt.

Please try to be happy all the time.

Tell mom to stop at Parkside and get gas,

and then open the next clue.

Take this money, and go in and buy you a treat!

You've been good, and you deserve it!

Tell mom to get on the freeway,

And head out toward Ogden.

When you get in the canyon,

Open the next note.

trains stop.  Park and open your next clue.
