Sheryl got some of the trail stamps last year when she helped me move out to Utah, but she stuck to her self-imposed rule of not counting stamps that her and Eric don’t get together. This year, when they helped me move back, they got the stamps, again. They’ll count for them, but not for me or Mom.

I went to Fossil Butte last year, but Mom’s visit will count.

I got the Presidential Inauguration stamp because it was limited edition, but I obviously didn’t attend.

The April 7 trail stamps in Council Bluffs Iowa are some of the same ones that we got at trail HQ in Salt Lake City, but the latter are gold-colored and in the Mountain Region, while the Iowa ones are red-colored.

I’m only at 13, with two-thirds of the year done.
