Photos From Interstate 40

Road Trip Day Seven Photos [adrotate group=”6″] The Texas Panhandle and Oklahoma Day seven of our road trip was spent driving across the Texas panhandle and into Oklahoma. Lots of flat land, which is a radical difference from what we have been experiencing for the last week. We did stop in Groom, TX to get photos of what is billed as the largest cross in the western hemisphere. I did not have a tape measure with me, but I would not argue with them. It was pretty tall.

Texas to Oklahoma

I have to admit, after spending the last few days in such beautiful states as Utah and New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma seem a little plain. Of course, that could be because we are driving across the plains. It will be better tomorrow. Day 108 of my daily photo log, Project 365.

Photos From New Mexico

Road Trip Day 6 [adrotate group=”6″] New Mexico Scenery Today is day six of our road trip. As we were headed east on I-40 we saw a sign informing us of a volcano and ice caves just 25 miles away. With all the news about volcanoes recently, a detour was in order. We ended up at Bandera Volcano and ice cave. It was pretty cool, no pun intended, and gave up a nice bit of exercise walking up and down the trails to see them. [adrotate group=”1″]

Road Trip Photos [adrotate group=”6″] Mesa Verde National Park Today’s photos are of Mesa Verde National Park. It is known for having some of the best preserved cliff dwellings that the Pueblo people used for 700 years. That is some endurable construction! It was cool seeing things that I have only seen pictures of. We needed to put some miles on, and we spent longer than anticipated at Mesa Verde, so we headed to Gallup, NM to hole up for the night. Just an FYI, starting Saturday, April 17, all National Parks will have free admission for a week. I …

Road Trip Day Four Photos

Road Trip Photos, Day Four [adrotate group=”6″] Green River, UT to Cortez, CO Started off the day in one of Butch Cassidy’s old haunts, Green River, UT. We then headed over to Moab and Arches National Park. Beautiful place, and very photogenic. After several hours there we decided to head to CO. On the way we found a turnoff for Canyonlands National Park. I had never heard of it before, but I have an annual pass for all the national parks, so a detour was made. Definitely looked like Indian country. Majestic. We ended up in Cortez, CO and had …

Photos From Day Three Road Trip

Day Three Road Trip Photos [adrotate group=”6″] Zion to Bryce to Green River, UT Woke up a few hundred yards from the entrance of Zion National Park, so we had to return. Tanya, Buddy and I walked along a river for a while, then drove through Zion to the other end. We decided to go to Arches National Park, but had to detour to Bryce Canyon first. This included the Dixie Forest and Red Canyon since they were on the way. Truly beautiful. We then headed towards Arches, but I-70 is so amazing, we had to stop and take more …

Road Companions

Road trips should be fun, but the fact of the matter is that if your traveling companions are not fun to be with, the road trip will suck. Fortunately, this is not an issue for me. Day 104 of my daily photo log, Project 365, is a photo of my two favorite companions.

Road Trip Day Two Photos

Road Trip, Day Two [adrotate group=”6″] Las Vegas, NV to Zion National Park Day two of our road trip began in Las Vegas, NV. The drive on I-15 North, as you leave NV takes you into the Virgin River Gorge, which is pretty amazing. I have driven it several times, but this is the first time I was able to get photos of the place. After a late lunch in St. George, UT we headed into Springdale which is where one of the entrances to Zion National Park. One visit there and you have to imagine what the first settlers …
