Lunar Eclipse from Prescott, Arizona

We spent a week getting away from the desert heat. Prescott, Arizona is perfect for that, as it is higher elevation. While we enjoyed the area, there was a lunar eclipse. We stayed up late into the night to get some photos.

Las Vegas

We visited Las Vegas to be with some family who were there on business. Had some fun checking out the "new" Strip, which we had not seen in many decades. The newer casino/hotels, such as New York, New York, were eye-popping.

Sunset at Quartzsite

Sunset in Quartzsite, Arizona. We stayed out in the BLM area again this January.

Railroad Along the Rio Grande

As we drove out of the Gulf area, we went alongside the Rio Grande. There are also major rail lines along that river, so we got to see some trains pass. This was taken near Sanderson, Texas.

Folkstone, Georgia

We were told that many, many trains passed the small town of Folkstone, Georgia. We dropped in for a day, but sadly only saw a few trains, and were only able to photograph one freight. There are other train-spotting locations in this area of the country, and we may try again in the future.

Spent a day here. This is a wonderful air museum. They have an additional hangar with planes being restored, as well as engine displays.

Bear Flag

Very appropriate for September 11th.

We made a quick visit to the bear factory in Chelsea, Michigan. They have this nice flag made up entirely of teddy bears. The display of historical bears is interesting, but we did not manage to have a tour of the factory.
