Where the Bears and the Antelope Roam???

Here are some of the wildlife photos from our trip.

This was a young black/brown bear that was wandering alone the road in Sequioa.


This is a antelope/prong horn feeding on some grass in Bryce Canyon


A couple Ravens setting on a post in Bryce Canyon

A nice friendly lizard setting on the granite at Glacier Point, in Yosemite.


A seagull feeding in the saline flies on the shore of Mono Lake. Yes, all the black things in the picture are the saline flies.

A couple panoramics from our trip.

Here is Sandy in front of a redwood, the picture does not do the tree justice.

Here is the view from Hurricane Ridge in Olympic NP. Notice the glaciers on the peaks in the distance.
Here is Crater Lake and me. Now that's a lot of rain and snow melt. almost 2,000' deep.

Our New Digs

Well we have now been in Gig Harbor for almost a week, and we are starting to find our way around town. The camp ground is on the back side of a hill that over-looks the harbor, so today we drove to the other side and snapped a few shot of the harbor and Mount Rainier in the background. The next picture is the few out our back window. All we can see is trees and leafy green plants. The last picture is one of the "typical" harbor view houses. I wonder if they buy Windex in bulk?

Big Bend NP

Today we went to Big Bend National Park. It is different than I ever expected it to be here are a few photos of the park.

Our Campsite in Uvalde

Well this morning I finally got around to taking a few shot of our shaded site here in Uvalde before we leave next week. The trees are about the only thing saving us from the heat.

Only In Texas

Across the street from the campground is a store named Oasis Outback. They are an outdoors outfitter, that has a little more to "offer" than your average sporting goods store. they have now opened their own grill and BBQ restaurant inside the store. They also of course sell Guns and Ammo and hunting supplies. They also have a Drive thru Liquor and feed store, so you can buy all the beer and deer corn you need for your hunt without getting of of your truck. I don't know if this is the greatest store ever or a sad comment on just how odd somethings in Texas are.

On the move Again....Soon

Well, we just found out today that we will be relocating to Gig Harbor, Washington. It is a small town 16 miles northwest of Tacoma right on Puget Sound. This not a travel position, so we will be there for a year or more. We are both very excited about this opportunity, and about the journey there. Expect a lot of post to detail the voyage, but it will not happen for about a month. For we are enduring the 100 heat everyday here in South Texas. Here is a map of the area, The green in the upper left is Olympic National Park and the green in the lower right is Mount Rainier National Park. North Cascades National Park is only an hour or so from Seattle. We will have lots of fun on our weekends.
