Two years before, my visit to the Grand Canyon had been one of the highlights of the trip. I decided to repeat the visit on this trip. Then, I had visited the South Rim of the canyon. It had been beautiful weather then and visibility had been incredible. This time, I opted for the much less visited...

After seeing so many national parks, I didn't expect much from the Grand Canyon but I was blown away by it. I don't think the pictures will be all that impressive but I was certainly impressed. The canyons, the dirty Colorado River (they had jacked up the water flow at the dam above the canyon to help...

The end of the trip evolved into seeing a lot of old Indian ruins. In part, this was inspired by the X-Files television show where they talk about the Anasazi and cliff dwellers. In part, it came about because there are just so many old Indian ruins in this area. Most of them are 700 to 800 years...

I visited this park four days after being snowed on at Crater Lake. It was 106 degrees in the valley.

The new Secretary of Commerce -- Norman Mineta -- is a Japanese-American who was held in an internment ("relocation") camp in Colorado during much of World War II. I ran across the Manzanar site, located ironically near the town of "Independence", in the book and decided to stop by. This is a site "in...
2002_CA_Manzanar11CA -- Independence -- Manzanar NHS
Manzanar is still a work in progress. The site was established in Owens Valley (see next item) in 1992 to protect and interpret the Manzanar War Relocation Center, the first of ten permanent internment camps that were set up out west to intern Japanese-Americans during World War II. On February 19,...

I'm not sure what I thought the attraction of Joshua Tree would be. At this point, I was pretty tired of deserts. I think the main reason I wanted to go there was because of a the title of the "Joshua Tree" U2 album.

The park is mostly known for its groves a Joshua trees (surprise!). I asked the...

During the entire drive from my time-share in the Mojave Desert, I'd been sitting in smog.

2006_DC_Shenandoah6Ford's Theatre -- "Shenadoah" cast exiting
I just happened upon this on my way back from the Environmental Film Festival in the Nation's Capital. The cast of "Shenandoah" (see review) was getting out and I got to meet Scott Bakula, who I'd loved from his "Quantum Leap" days.

This was my first visit since Coretta Scott King had died and I wanted to see how she would be represented at the site. Her husband was still on an island all by himself in the middle of a water body. She was in a flower bed by the eternal flame. I also did the house tour for the first time -- no...

I flew into Savannah the day before the Civil War Trust conference. The weather was sunny (albeit windy). The group would visit the fort on Saturday but rain was predicted and it would certainly be overcast so I decided to strike out early and get sunny photographs.

I got hopelessly lost trying to find the place which made me late.

Most of this trip was plagued with overcast days and rain forecasts. September 3 was no different. I sat around in the time-share until mid-way through the day and finally decided the weather was better than forecasted so I might as well get out an do something.

Springfield was only 40 miles away...
