Over The 45th Parallel At Least Four Times

Here is a slideshow from the past week (see previous entries).



We are going on a 3 day camping trip starting today (a somewhat local one at that.)

More maybe on Saturday!

Updates, Slideshows and Camping (oh my)

We are having a "tech" day today. She is updating her blog http://www.myyearwithout.blogspot.com/ with pictures and I am going through our blog and adding a little more dialog to previous posts. Below are some pictures from on the way and at our camping spot thus far.

WARM SPRINGS, Ore. (AP) — A wind-fueled wildfire raced over about 200 acres on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation over the weekend, burning in grass and sagebrush.

The Greeley Heights fire was reported around 4:30 p.m. Sunday, about 1 1/2 miles southeast of the town of Warm Springs.

Ken Lydy, a fire management officer says crews had bulldozer lines around 30 to 40 percent of the fire by Sunday.

He says full containment could come in a day or two, if all goes well.

No evacuations had been ordered and no injuries reported.

The cause of the fire was under investigation, but officials believe it was started by a human, as there have been no thunderstorms in the area.

PICTURES FROM CAMPING (DAY 1)

Here are 3 pictures we took last night (the sun was down) leaving the shutter open for about 8 seconds. Tonight we have a full moon so we hope to have some incredible shots.

Change Of Plans

We cut back a couple of days...here are pictures so far:


Well we ended up jumping out early on this one...there were many factors in this decision.

1. We average about 7 miles of walking a day (which we loved) and would be walking less if we were on a bus for long periods of time
2. The weather was getting a little scary in the South and Midwest (See Right)
   
3. We missed our dog.

I'm sure we'll get to the South some day soon. The next time we will probably drive ourselves around so we have more opportunity to linger in places and chase storms.
