The Search for Spring 2009



It's been a busy month since I last posted, not that you'd know from this site. However, our laptop temporarily tanked and we were doing too much traveling and hiking to spend time doing stuff on the computer. So.....

In 4 weeks we visited Vancouver Island, Washington's Olympic Peninsula, central Oregon, northern and central and southern Nevada, Death Valley, Grand Canyon and southern Utah. Great hikes in Grand Canyon were probably the highlight of the trip for us. This photo shows part of the Bright Angel Trail to Lookoff Point, about halfway down into the canyon to the Colorado River.

Since pictures will describe the trip much better, I've posted a selection on my Picasa site. Here it's enough to say that it was great to experience spring and summer in a few places and to arrive back home where spring has just started all over again.
