Day #1- The Natchez Trace is very pretty and very green. I particularly liked the picture of the French Camp.
BTW - I thought I saw your truck pass me on the street today. It looked just like the above picture. But it didn't slow down and ask me if I wanted a ride and it didn't have MS plates. I was very disappointed!
Day #3 - Texas Hill Country looked just like all those old westerns! I laughed though when the herizon in the opening shot was flat!! LOL Perhaps not the best choise. I look forward to seeing some of your pix.
I'd like fries and a coke please.
I found Sedona, Red Rocks and vortex but not stupas. Oh well, the scenery IS beautiful!
Day #7 - Great pix! I loved the old buildings in Jerome. I think I could spend at least a day exploring there!
I REALLY want to hear all about the rez……and the falls! 'Ya know, that link looked familiar too!
Day #4 - If only you could bring me home a souvenir from Sanderson!!!!
I picked up a feather on my way to Havasu Falls…. How will that do? ;-)
Hey, Tsita.. - Thanks for keeping my blog warm!
I'm back a little earlier than planned, but didn't miss much. The only thing that I passed up was Sanderson (the peyote place). The high point of the trip was my trek into the Grand Canyon bottom and a short stay with the Havasupai. While there I met an awesomely awake guy named Larry and had the nicest conversation with him. I'm sure I'll have more to say on that later, but for now just suffice it to say I thought of you many times while out there. This was a trip where your company would have certainly been a plus. I also drove through the painted desert, the Navajo area, and the Hopi Indian Reservation. - When I go again (soon I hope - specifically to visit the Havasupai) I hope you can make plans to come too.
On a side, I did the prayer with the smoke just like you said.. 8)
But that's prolly all for now. As you might guess I'm catching up on some much needed rest. I'll have a photo album up by tomorrow along with a larger post on the trip.
Deep Bows for now - As always, Cheers!
