They call them the "Badlands". Apparently this
was pretty much their name in several languages. They appeared
to be pretty difficult to navigate. They also appeared to have
very little water. - August 2005 |

It's called "Craters of the Moon", but
it really is a lava park. It's located where two tectonic
plates are pulling apart. One gets to see the remnants of lava
extrusions. - May 2006 |

Not far off the Interstate is a place called Devil's
Tower. It really is quite formidable! - August 2005 |

I took a weekend trip up to Glacier
National Park in late September. There was snow at the highest
elevations and they were about to close certain parts due to the
coming winter. I went through the West Glacier Entrance. - September 2005 I took another weekend trip up to Glacier
National Park in June. Logan Pass was still not open, but
mostly due to construction. I drove around the south and went
to an East entrance at Two Medicine. |

These are spectacular. Near
Jackson Wyoming, just south of Yellowstone. These photos are
just of the National Park. - May 2006 |

Who really knows what Crazy Horse was like?
Should the monument be to just one person? I'd prefer a
monument to all the dead laying in the lands where Crazy Horse is
pointing. - August 2005 |
Mount Crazy Horse |
Really quite impressive in an overstated sort of
way. It does seem nice to demonstrate respect for people of
intellect and some character. - August 2005 |
Mount Rushmore |
Yellowstone was a
totally fascinating and interesting location. The
unusual variations of nature in this small area were astounding. - August 2005 |
