US Trip Day 3 - Mountains

A pretty quiet day today. After yesterday, I was pretty tired. Tomorrow will be a big day - I'll have my interview to do, and apparently a bunch of people are coming back to the place I'm staying for a big party before we leave for the Grand Canyon at oh crap o'clock on Wednesday. Didn't do all that much, but we did go up into the mountains for some pretty spectacular scenery.


I'm using clickable thumbnails this time - some of the photos overflowed the borders of the last couple of posts.

The road up the mountain:

Only You:

We didn't actually find the trail we were looking for (our directions were inadequate and we had no actual map) but we found a place where there was a little stream. It reminded me a bit of the Cotter back home:

And let's face it, the mountains were pretty spectacular:

That's all for today's update. I'm also steadily adding photos to my Flickr Photostream - different ones from these.

If you have the time & energy and whatnot, you might enjoy the Museum of Natural History. It was a favorite place to visit when I was a kid.

Wow. So Smokey the Bear really does say "Only you can prevent forest fires."

And gosh. Mountains that have snow on them in Summer? Freaky.

There wasn't any snow. That's granite you're seeing.

Saw this and thought that you may find this relevant/interesting for your Conference:

Question 5 (Chapter 15) in particular. You can watch the whole thing or you can skip to that section by clicking on the chapter in the list under the video.
