Goosenecks State Park, Utah



We spent some time boondocking in Goosenecks. This is near Mexican Hat, Utah, and allows camping on the edge of a deep canyon (San Juan River). Lots better than the Grand Canyon.

This was taken just at sunrise.

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.

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.
