I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:

2. I15BAR_180723_19.JPG: Mojave Road Long ago Mohave Indians used a network of pathways to cross the Mojave Desert to reach the Pacific Coast from their homes along the Colorado River. In 1776, the Spanish Missionary Francisco Garces became the first non-Indian to trek these trans-desert routes. In 1826 Jedediah Smith trod these trails to become the first white man to reach the California Coast overland from mid-America. The route became a military wagon road in 1859 when Fort Mojave on the Colorado River was established. This travel route remained a major link between Los Angeles and points east until a railway was completed across the desert in 1883. California Registered Historical Landmark No. 963

8. I15BAR_180723_56.JPG: Rising 700 feet above the desert floor, the Dunes were created by southeast winds blowing finely grained sand from the Mojave River. When the sand grains slide down the steep upper slopes, a "booming" sound is produced. The Kelso Dunes are open to hikers but closed to vehicles.
9. I15BAR_180723_58.JPG: The largest dam of its time when built in the 1930's [sic] at the Nevada-Arizona border, Hoover Dam is now a principal source of flood control, irrigation and electrical power in the Southwest.
10. I15BAR_180723_63.JPG: The striking cliffs and colorful hues of Red Rock Canyon have inspired visitors and travelers of all backgrounds and interests. Hikers, geologists, paleontologists and campers have traversed this natural wonder in the southern El Paso Mountains for more than a century.
11. I15BAR_180723_65.JPG: The United States' 15th oldest national park is Grand Canyon National Park. Named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, the park is located in Arizona. The park's central feature is the Grand Canyon, a gorge of the Colorado River, which is often considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. The park covers 1,217,262 acres (1,902 sq mi; 4,926 km2) of unincorporated area in Coconino and Mohave counties.
12. I15BAR_180723_68.JPG: Hole-in-the-Wall was created millions of years ago when a nearby volcano erupted, covering the area with a mixture of gas and ash. The ask cooled and the gas dissipated, leaving behind the porous holes in the walls.
13. I15BAR_180723_71.JPG: 250 feet high and 6,000 years old, Amboy Crater is one of the best examples of a volcanic cinder cone in the Mojave Desert. Within a 2-3 hour hike that winds along a footpath to the top of the cone, visitors can revel in scenic views of the surrounding area and perhaps spot clusters of wildflowers from late January through March.
14. I15BAR_180723_77.JPG: Calico Ghost Town epitomizes the Old West and the rugged spirit of the townspeople and miners who lived there. Tastefully constructed sites combine the old with the new, the original with the reconstructed, to give visitors a taste of life on the frontier.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
