So glad you got the humming bird
red bird lunch on digital. I have no idea what sort of bird that is..
I will check my bird books..and get back to you..you are getting
a "birds eye" view of this country
and its peculiar schizophrenia..
The beauty of the west..vast inexplicable.whispered memories..
and then the ubiqitous trailers..and ugly shacks..that sully even this magnificent expanse. What is it about the human race that figures its got a right to be tacky. Oh yea, its the economy stupid..but at least some of these trailers still have wheels..which means they can be rolled away. Conversely this
race of ours has built some extraordinary things..there seems to be two opposing principles at work here. I have often thought the Indians had the right idea. But we managed to crush them. They didn't see the earth as something to plunder..they saw it as their natural resource. To respect and to use carefully. They didn't think about expanding their economy, they thought about, today we have eaten. Bless this day. It was a day to day culture..theres was a moveable feast..(to be fair sometimes some tribes did plunder their neighbor, even Indians had rogue tribes) but with no thoughts of destroying the land. Capitalism wasn't much on their minds. Well we showed them! Brillant-- that you are recording yourselves as you travel along and as you are finding the mystery of Place.

In my own defense....this is Seamless Julie, ou know the one with out the tan lines....well, I just want that Djina to know, in her honor, I am wearing shorts when I tan so that we can remain friends forever. Anyway, I can't find anyone else to go backpacking with so I have to make nice....:)
Shorts while you tan!!!!! That's Love! Really Julie, you are too good to me.
I'm going to call you because I'm sending this guy we met your way, well actually Jim's way. I'll tell you all about it. He is really cool and looking for just the kind of job Jim could help him out with....

Aun T. Vette,
I really can't imaging doing a trip like this without writing about it. I would explode. It is just like you describe...complicated and beautiful, and brings up lots of different emotions.

These are incredable pictures! I love your whole blog! It is great summer reading!!!
I get concerned when there is no posting for a few days, but it is usually when you have no access - so I wait!
It was a nice thing that you all were in a hotel Thursday night. That storm was showing on Weather.com at 40% to 50% chance and coming in earlier then the day before.
Oh, yes, LJ are my first and middle initials. I guess I will now sign as Linda - Bee Reader to give your friend LJ a break!
