Some of you may have known that I was doing a trip in the American West. Here's a link to my photos. Note that some of them are 200K, so if you're on a dialup, click with care ...

Thanks, CK. I for one happen to LOVE places like Fort Amargosa! It was interesting to see the piccies of Yosemite; my main "memory" (never been there) of the place is of my mother telling me about my parents going there on their honeymoon. And then on to Grand Canyon where my father parked at the rim (I think they changed the rules after this) and when they were ready to leave, putting the car in the opposite gear.

Wish I'd've known you were zooming thru the SF Bay Area. I would've waved as you shot past. When I saw Petaluma and Grabbamaville on your map, I had a slight, ladyfingerlike, twinge of nostalgia: I'm from Sonoma. Nice photos.
