Purple mountains majesty


After 2200 miles of traveling we have arrived safely home. Along with lovely weather we enjoyed some outstanding scenery along with my brother John and Laurie. Here is one of the few pictures of the four of us - we had to set the camera on a rock as our tripod and put it on self-timer. It may look like we are standing in some field or on the prairie - but check out the next picture to get the perspective. We are on top of a mountain and on a plateau entitled "hellroaring plateau." It was fabulous! Wally drove us up to the top in our 4-wheel drive pick up truck slowly over a gravel road (if you can call that a road!) - it took a hour to drive the 6 miles to the top. But is was sooo worth it!

Here is a picture with Wally in the distance so you can get the feeling of where we actually were. Notice all the beautiful blue/purple flowers. We picked a great time of year to visit - lots of wild flowers in bloom.
