Fore & Aft

Hot weather predominates this volley... hear it's "rain rain" at home,
- and gunshots heard last evening as I'm camped in Tacoma , the Wild Wild West ! 

just "goin".....

After visiting some of the friendliest folk in Colorado (from Delta to Paonia), there's little marked as registered on the chart into Vernal Utah, where there's not a single motel room found due to the Oil Boom as gas prices rise, but on hwy 191 north through hills and canyons for 105 miles to Rock Springs Wyoming is some of N. Americas most gorgeous scenery... wildlife along the way too... posted "Keep out" by the Navaho nation... (nothings sacred)... but still I'd highly recommend this route... 

Mammoth & Ol Faithful

Lo - I saw it "blow" on the ride in... but impending rain and nightfall didn't allow another 94 minutes til next eruption... views are outstanding thu Tetons and Yellowstone... did see pronghorns, bison, coyotes (within 4 feet), 2 speicies of deer, a grizzly feeding on an elk, numerous furry scamperers and birds of interest.... oh, and lots and lotsa people, fences, signs and fees... impossible to get a "spot" to camp (legally)..... 

Public Transit

 

Last week's supply

Images (like me) seem to be acting up........ on the way & at - --> Telluride Colorado..... 

No complaint ! it's all good :)

Ewww Uuuu, Ewww Uuuu Uuuu Uuuu,
Ewww Uuuu, Ewww Uuuu Uuuu.....

sing this if ya don't think likewise......

RESTurANT

860 some miles logged one day, 112 degrees and I drink my 1st Dr.Pepper (inalongtime) with a man whom shares his song to his first ever audience, miles of "I don't know what" & thousands of wind generators in Palm Springs - I get handed a report 1 ol' woman owns the valley thay all reside in and she's one hellufa "high stakes" gambler in Vegas... Tip o' my visor to the motorcycle cops on the LA Freeways - those guys are magical masters on BMW's... awesomely impressed doesn't say enuf.... Southern AZ has been a HOT land of "NO shadows" but see a shadow now as I put a foot onto 4 States today.... Dinner tonight of quality beef and brew but the "special" salmon is "farmed" !! - manager/owner tells me "there's no mercury in it" in rebuttal... 

views

.... the "shade" this construction guy uses as a hat, and note to Howard E. that I have no worries bout the Austin cops catchin my Wing if I need to run.... hear em comin anyway..... 

ROT Rally & Kerrville

Camping and people watching, could write a book in the "tweens" of these fotos... yes I DID jump into the river in that last frame, Texas water is "cold" too...
