That's a tall order for someone and may take more than the five months we have to visit. But we gave it a try anyway...sans two wheels.
I have always loved riding motorcycles, but my checkbook didn't allow me to always have one parked in the garage. But these past years have brought about some disposible income, so I rewarded myself with a motorcycle. It has been parked in my storage unit for the many months I've spent in Thailand.

Bryce Canyon
You need more than an IMax Theatre to see how beautiful this area is. Pics don't do it justice.

The Walsh Family
Our new friends we spent a few days with. It was a joy to have you as part of our trip!! God Bless you all!
Keep Going...We're Amost There

Death Valley. All its name implies. Who would live here??? And they do! That's INSANE!
