Tennessee
Well, yesterday we made it to Tennessee. Spent the night in Kingston, TN west of Knoxville. our motel is next to a lake. So pretty. all the boat houses along it remind me of the Adirondacks.

Home on the range...
I am leaving Colorado... as I drive east... going past Genoa and it's "see 6 states" tower... I look in the rearview one last time at the mtns. This is the first and last point to see them on a clear day. I look back with fond memories, then ahead to new adventures

(NM - CO line) The site has the ruins of the St. Aloysious Church, Known locally as the "old Morley Church" There are some foundations from other buildings. There used to be a coal mine and town on this site until the mine closed in the 1950's.

Oregon
Waterfalls, moss, vines & Green everywhere. This is western Oregon. The central and eastern areas aren't like this. They are dryer. High dessert and mountains. lots of sage brush and wide open ranches.
Trip to Oregon
Went on a trip to Oregon with T. Very lush and wet. well it rained about 80% of the time we were there. Good sleeping weather. Got in some fresh air and shopping while not working. I like western Oregon. I like the rain forest effect. T wouldn't do to well; as he is susceptible to depression. Oh, well we can always visit.

Glenwood Canyon Rock Slide
Glenwood Springs Canyon is about 2 hours west of my place.A major rock slide left two large holes in the interstate just west of the hanging lake exit. one hole is 10 x 20 feet. it will be days before the interstate is open again. some of the boulders that fell was semi size! lucky there was already an unrelated accident in a different location of the canyon, so the road was already closed.

Welcome to March
Well, today was a nice day. so March came in like a lamb. Darn. hope there isn't another bad snow storm. I'm tired of it all. Was in Phoenix recently too. upper 60's low 70's. love arizona in the winter. it's very green from all the recent rains they have been getting. was a t-storm the first night we got there. hail too! could tell it's been raining a lot. it smelled fresh when the rain was done. normally it smells like dusty dirt after a rain here in the west. nice for a change :)

Kingman, AZ
Kingman Arizona. spent the day here in Arizona. A nice spring like day. in the 50's with hazy clouds. went for a walk out of town on this dirt trail.. may have been for the power lines?? found these little heart shaped cacti. came across a "campsite" - i think it may be where the illegals hide out at night waiting for their ride. lots of discarded water and alcohol bottles, clothes and garbage. A blemish on this otherwise senic walk.
