Things We've Seen

• A bald eagle playing in wind currents in the wake of Hurricane Ike.
• The flooded banks of the Missouri River, which was another by-product of Ike.
• Our good and very missed friends, the Pecks, who now live in St. Louis.
• Fields of sunflowers, corn, and a bunch of other stuff we can't identify.
• A wind farm complete with dozens of giant wind turbines.
• A coyote wandering down a river bank. He decided he was too shy for a photo opportunity.
• Antelope playing on the range.



• The oh-so-majestic and beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains.
• Goblins. We spent our first full day in Utah hiking around the Valley of the Goblins.
• A whole bunch of bunnies who are intent on taking over our campsite. Keith said one of them made a run for the tent opening.
• Arches. We spent our second full day in Utah hiking around Arches National Park.
• Lots of Land Rovers. The 2008 National Land Rover Rally is taking place this week in Moab.
