Here we go again...

So I accepted a visiting position. On the other side of the country...which if you consider it, is really par for the course. With the exception of our sojourns in CA and OR all of my moves have been across the country.

In style--luxury rental

Thus begins my 8th trip across the USA. And somehow we have managed to find a different route and plan a trip that brings us to places we haven't yet been. This is my and Joe's 3rd trip together and this time, we're taking it slow and doing it in style (I get some of my expenses covered on this trip...).

So we're hitting the national parks--basically anything that gets thrown in our way on the middle route that we feel comfortable spending less than a day exploring.

Yesterday we began. It was beautiful. East and then South. We hit an amazingly bad (but everybody okay--pictures forthcoming) accident on our way into NV. Which meant 3 hours watching a couple of semi trucks being cleared from the 2 lane road and an amazing thunderstorm ricocheting around us. We also played some backgammon and chatted with the folks around us.

But today was the real treat. We're staying in the park and the lodge has wifi so I will share a pano from our hike today:
