September 16-21, 2015 The long drive home.....

Every wonderful summer trip comes to an end, and so we are now headed towards home.  Here are some random images from our six-day drive east.....  Til next year, my friends!

Stopped in Albuquerque long enough to have an early lunch with my
long-time friend and co-worker (now retired!) Charlotte, and her friend Mike.

Where we ate in Albuquerque - the Owl Cafe.   (pesky street light!)

Driving through canyonlands area and found a BIG boulder beside the road.

How I feel about being in the canyonlands area.... 

The Vermillion Cliffs.  Gotta tell ya, they were mighty RED.

"Scattered thunderstorms"

Taken from about 7000 ft.
Two steps in The Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument, first the white and then the red.

Oh lookie here!  Lava on the roadside - again!  This stuff is everywhere out west...

Those crazy buried Cadillacs at Cadillac Ranch outside Amarillo, Texas. 

How's this for irony?  Wind turbines, and coal train destined for a power plant.
"Clean" energy and "dirty" energy.
