Great Pics
( Or...may I bore you with my cool photos? )

Vermillion Cliffs in Northern Arizona. This scene eventually became the subject of a painting which can be seen in the Desert gallery.
This is the best cool picture, looking down from the Navajo Bridge. The sun reflecting on the current eddies, and the green shades look like a nebula in space...
There are pretty things at roadside rests if you look hard enough!
We made it to Phoenix, then West to Southern California, but it was soooo hot it was all we could to just get there, much less than stop to take pictures.
This is Glamis, about halfway between Hell and Gone. During the summer the train is about the only excitement there, but for a week end in February, it turns into a small city with people from all over who come to turn the sand dunes into a giant sand box for off road vehicles.
Glamis again, that's Ron probably getting ready to open another gallon of water for our human radiators. It was around 110 deg there.
A night shot of downtown San Diego from our hotel room balcony. It was much cooler there, a few steps from San Diego Bay.
There were alot of missed opportunities for really great photos, but because of some of the weather conditions like rain and heat it just wasn't in our best interest to be stopping very often in some areas. But that only means that now there is an excuse to go back during he cooler weather! Thanks for looking at my pictures! They'll be here for awhile until.....?
Due to some technical problems I have not been able to put up any new photos. The problems have been resolved and I hope to be putting up new ones as they come along. Also, please be patient, alot of these new ones are digital with higher resolution and will take a bit of time to load.
This is Crater Lake, Oregon. Geologically, it was formed by an ancient volcanic eruption which left a huge crater. An interesting story about the lake is that it has had an inhabitant since the 1920s...a floating dead tree trunk called "The Old Man".
The first set of photos with the blue captions were taken on our vacation in Sept. not on the bikes!
Cave at Lava Beds NM, northern Ca. Caves are actually lava tubes, a product of molten lava leaving behind a sort of tube as it flowed down the flank of the volcano then cooled from the outside in. There is no interior lighting. Hikers must bring their own flashlights.
Sunset at Lava Beds. We have never seen such a beautiful one anywhere!
