Theater At Athens, Entrance To Acropolis

Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius

I believe in a spirit far greater than my simple mind could imagine. But  having walked the streets of Pompeii, I'm not sure that my personal problems and wishes consume a responsible God's immense concern.  Naples Italy

Newspaper Rock State Historic Park, Utah

Man is restless, like the ocean current, like the migrating geese across an ever changing sky.
His road is winding into a new place, a new time, a new chance with hopeful anticipation of a new vista, an enlightened inspiration,
another contrast in texture and form.
A spirit traveler in time and space, author of the book of life.

That's what the rock says.

Yellowstone National Park

The Yellowstone River is one of the better trout streams in the lower 48. The average size is on the small side, but you can catch them all day. Problem is, it's hard to stop looking at the scenery. Lower Falls of The Yellowstone River

So your depressed a little huh?.. and tired of chasing a dollar. Well then don't buy that new vehicle and keep your old house for now. Now isn't the time to do those things. You don't have to be like everyone else. Now is the time to save for a small used motor home to drive the Alaska Highway..._ yep! If you want to be reborn, and see the beauty again, so long as your hemorrhoids aren't acting up, I'm your prophet.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Chaco Culture National Historic Park

This is by far the largest and most well preserved Anasazi Indian Ruin in the U.S. Petroglyphs line the canyon walls. No one really knows why such an extensive site was abandoned.

There is a campground here for campers, but be aware of the twenty mile road which will be impassable should it by some slim chance rain.

There is also an observatory with official guided viewing in the dark night sky of the New Mexico desert. The Anasazi were astronomers, seeing here is often good.

White Sands National Monument, New Mexico

And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell, and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being. Black Elk Lakota
