backlog, day four.

As sometimes happens, I take pictures then forget where I took them. I can sometimes figure it out by the pictures that they are next to in the folder.

I suspect that these are in the Copper Basin area north of Arco Idaho.

They at least were taken close to each other on the same day a year and half ago.

As I have said before, If I did not have a BAD memory I would have no memory at all.

backlog day 3

Still stuck at home and posting a backlog of pictures.  These from a year ago November.

 

Along the Blackfoot River between the Blackfoot Reservoir and the City of Blackfoot, Idaho

 

The river follows a fairly deep canyon.

Thius is know as the Trail Creek road bridge.

Backlog week, day 2

Staying home and posting some backlog pictures for at least a week.

These are from the Petrified Forest National Park, in Arizona.

Taken in March of this year.

What better backlog than some rock logs.

Some amazing sized petrified trees.

Nature sure can do some amazing things.

Backlog week

Well I am going to stay home and just post a backlog of pictures for about the next week.

This is south of Denver somewhere.  this is what my listing shows, 

     " 09-07-04 CO denver to pueblo via co 83/115/69"  So I took it on July 4th.  Also the next two pictures.

They were taken near the  Royal Gorge Bridge.

Taken while I was looking for an overlook to see the bridge without paying the tourist trap set up they had which was full to overflowing on  4th of July.

home

It was very cold and foggy at Elko  Nevada this morning.

As I headed north on NV 225 towards Boise  everything was all frosty and white by the time I cleared the fog.  By the time I crossed into Idaho the temp had risen to near 40 and most of the snow was gone. 

Ran into more snow again by Craters of the Moon National Park .

in a circle

Well I started out this morning in Reno, Nevada.  But I could not make up my mind which way to go.  I now have a nice clean mind, since I changed it twice.

It was foggy from Reno to Fallon and I had  changed my mind from going north to Ontario OR to east to Ely.

East of Fallon it cleared out except for some valley fog.

Not a whole lot of intersting things to take pictures of this time of year.

A nice mountain here and there.  When I got to Eureka, Nevada, I again changed my mind and headed North.  Ending up at Elko again.   This mountain was between Eureka and Elko.

somewhere in Nevada

Well, I took these pictures somewhere in Nevada.

I am not very impressed with downtown Reno, it seemed kind of dirty and had lots of rough looking people standing around on the sidewalks,  you know the kind that you get in economic depressed areas.

The dirt just might have been the dirty snow piled in the streets.

The major casinos seemed to have lost their glitter. (circus circus, Harrahs, Eldarado, and the other famous ones.)

Maybe I just hit them in a bad week.  I have not driven downtown Reno for years and years.

sun up to sun down

Got up to a foggy morning, headed out on a trip.

The sun finally broke through the fog bank down close to Aberdeen, Idaho.

In Nevada over US93 between Jackpot and Wells they are building what looks like it is going to be a nature trail for deer to cross the highway. They are also building several miles of deer proof fence along both sides of the highway to funnel them onto the overpass.

The mountains down by Wells NV are quite snow covered with wind shear clouds over the tops.

At 4:30 in the afternoon the sunset over Elko Nevada.

Even more UT stuff

Some more of my recent trip to south central Utah,  Mostly along UT12 and 24.

I wonder how slick and slimy this gets in a rain storm.

I believe this is the Fremont River.

Part of the staircase.

It is amazing how the different colored layers show up in places.

Things

While staying at Richfield Utah a week ago I stopped at this point of interest at the end of one of the roads.

I found it to be somewhat interesting.

I always thought Lime was a citrus fruit not a rock.

Also displayed was this example of a water wheel geared to pump water, the pump looked like it would pump into  a fairly high pressure pipe of about 4 inches or less.
