A full-length leap into the day.
Castle Valley …
… a livestock ramp with Castleton Tower on the horizon.
degradation …
each spring in my trips west I park behind this single-wide by a derelict gas station to camp overnight in equally derelict Table Rock, Wyoming … and each year, more graffiti greets me when I arrive …
faster, faster …
… to beat the storm to the Border Inn … where a beer awaits me.
Three Dogs
emptiness …
bad skies over badlands …
… in Badlands National Park in South Dakota.
someone lived here …
miles and miles …
… past a hovel along the Wilkins-Montello Road in northeastern Nevada.
sometimes …
… it rains in the desert in western Utah.
aspen morning …
… at 8,000 feet in the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area in Wyoming.
the Great Basin Desert …
… and in the distance, Great Basin National Park.
maintaining a memory …
… along Route 50 west of Ely, Nevada.
once upon a time …
… I stood atop Devil’s Tower.
a little TLC …
… and I’ll move right in … in Cisco, Utah.
oops …
… this dry lake bed wasn’t quite dry.
