Howdy, folks! I just wanted to let you know that I may not be updating this blog for a few weeks. I’m taking an impromptu trip to visit family in Kansas, then will be trying to find a new car in a short time, THEN fighting to get caught up on some things at home, to be sure I’m ready for the Nevada trip I have planned for March 28 – April 12. If nothing else, I definitely WILL be blogging from Nevada about that trip as it unfolds. That trip promises to be full of good pictures, as I will be going to a National Park, a National Conservation Area, two state parks, and that’s not to mention that I’ll be driving “the loneliest stretch of road” in the US Highway system.

Western Colorado (April 2012)
