I went on a
backpacking trip to Eagletail Mountains Wilderness Area. This sign in
at one of the entrances.
|
|
It doesn't
really show in this picture, but this hill was green in color, because
the pebbles that are covering it are all green. An unual site!
|
|
Rock
formations in Eagletail.
|
|
Half-way up
a cliff (on the way to the arch, below), I found this "cave". Obviosly,
some sort of deer (likely a Big Horn) was using this recently!
|
|
One of the
natural arches in Eagletail.
|
|
View from
the natural arch (above).
|
|
A close up
view of the natural arch.
|
|
A not so
close up view of the arch.
|
|
An
interesting rock.
|
|
Some pretty
flowers.
|
|
Somewhere
in Eagletail...
|
|
Anvil Rock
-- in Eagletail.
|
|
The
entrance to a large cave (it really is big) in Eagletail.
|
|
The cave
again.
|
|
This was an
awful camping site (as far as sleeping goes), but the view was
terrific. Around 2am, with a full moon, I could see the same distant
mountains clearly!
|
|
Um, huh?
|
|
My
not-so-good campsite.
|
|
Sunrise in
Eagletail.
|
|
We just
converted the porch into an office. Here is the new office!
|
|
More new
office...
|
|
Outside of
new office.
|
|
On a
vacation... Here is Button (the "Train-Freak"), next to a real train in
Flagstaff.
|
|
Button and
the train again.
|
|
OK, so here
is the family and the train.
|
|
Inside the
train station.
|
|
Door to the
trains (or so says the sign).
|
|
We visited
the observatory in Flagstaff (that was all for ME). This is one of the
telescopes.
|
|
Same
telescope.
|
|
Same 'scope
again.
|
|
Still the
same telescope. I must have been impressed!
|
|
You guessed
it. Still the same telescope.
|
|
This is the
building that houses the telescope that discovered Pluto!
|
|
And this is
the telescope that discovered Pluto!
|
|
Same
telescope (did I mention that it discovered Pluto?).
|
|
The Grand
Canyon. Purdy.
|
|
The Grand
Canyon is still purdy.
|
|
Our kids,
on a log, on the rim of the Grans Canyon.
|
|
SNOW!!!!!
|
|
WAIT --
DON'T JUMP!
|
|
Who, us?
|
|
I wonder
why we are not facing the camera?
|
|
Is this the
same picture? Guess not...
|
|
Another
picture.
|
|
This is a
picture.
|
|
Roo is
making Mommy nervous.
|
|
Aren't we
just a special little group of tourists?
|
|
Oh. Awe.
Wow.
|
|
Inside a
tower that sits on the rim.
|
|
This is the
Grand Canyon. Have I mentioned this before?
|
|
Meg,
sitting in a thing.
|
|
Here is the
outside of the tower that sits on the rim.
|
|
This would
be the Grand Canyon. Ever seen it?
|
|
Rediculous
girl.
|
|
One more
Grand Canyon pic.
