road trip warrior

hi all. i'm alive, and so is everything around me. except the mojave desert. i will have nightmares about that place. i loved california. i think i was in the bestest of places. now i'm in arizona, flagstaff to be precise, and this place is quite wonderful too. count down to the grand canyon.

almost 1000 photos later and i'm not even half way home yet...

hanging with the Roberts

ranch visit numero tres. this was a three day stay chock full of off roading, cave exploring, indian arrowhead and artifact hunting, a desperate search for a swimming hole, the pure desert night sky, the almost unbearable heat, and the Roberts, plus Paul and myself.

Ocotillo Ranch

don't know what these are. have to look them up.

there was some strange activity in the atmosphere that day...this rainbow came out of a ball in the sky, like a spotlight

later that night
