Road Trip I
Aug. 4th, 2005 11:00 pmGreat glorifying praises to the diety of digital cameras – despite all the twists of fate to befall mine, I managed to get the pictures off it!
I'm not a very good photographer, but here goes...
Rohan - On the way down, we drove past an area that looked like it could have been used in LotR. That movie is one of the few things that can make me homesick for Utah. ... Okay, it's the only thing.
Thunderstorm - Near Beaver, UT ... I like thunderstorms. This one didn't actually have much lightning but it was impressive just the same.
Clacks Tower? - [dork alert!] Taken from under the thunderstorm above, after we drove through it. Come on, a cell tower is practically a clacks tower! It's even got a ladder!
Cliffs - On the way to the Tuacahn Ampitheatre near St George. It's a great big theatre set up at the end of a box canyon, surrounded by tall red cliffs. We saw Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat there – I've seen many productions of it but this was probably the biggest and definitely the most ... unique.
Day two will have more pictures, I promise... including [drumroll] The MAD GREEK!

But 'twas not in vain: I ended up making history an academic career. :-p I guess Johnny PdL wouldbe #5 on my list, which might make me a true Floridian. Of course, Boney would be #1 HANDS DOWN! :-D
