The museum's permanent collection is housed in a three-story glass atrium accessible from two exhibit floors with an additional catwalk level available for viewing suspended aircraft from above. Volunteers maintain an amateur radio exhibit displaying modern and historic radio equipment. The exhibit also participates in the Space Amateur Radio Experiment where visitors can periodically talk to astronauts aboard the International Space Station.<br /><br /></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zoqdRvu3jC4/Tdj1KuHAbgI/AAAAAAAADg0/QIePDsEbVS0/s1600/DSC02597.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609502900414868994" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zoqdRvu3jC4/Tdj1KuHAbgI/AAAAAAAADg0/QIePDsEbVS0/s320/DSC02597.JPG" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4b8qQsyZiw8/Tdj1J05efaI/AAAAAAAADgs/U3zBUnhGQ4s/s1600/DSC02524.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609502885057297826" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4b8qQsyZiw8/Tdj1J05efaI/AAAAAAAADgs/U3zBUnhGQ4s/s320/DSC02524.JPG" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N_6W1vafOhY/Tdj1JWMdvqI/AAAAAAAADgk/s3nSd5Np57g/s1600/DSC02531.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609502876815441570" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N_6W1vafOhY/Tdj1JWMdvqI/AAAAAAAADgk/s3nSd5Np57g/s320/DSC02531.JPG" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4bVhvRqfqX4/Tdj1ItYK5WI/AAAAAAAADgc/tQxRl15rpxQ/s1600/DSC02533.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609502865858684258" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4bVhvRqfqX4/Tdj1ItYK5WI/AAAAAAAADgc/tQxRl15rpxQ/s320/DSC02533.JPG" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w1Ii1y0ap7A/Tdj1IKb0e1I/AAAAAAAADgU/gl2Hjaq-no4/s1600/DSC02536.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609502856478751570" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w1Ii1y0ap7A/Tdj1IKb0e1I/AAAAAAAADgU/gl2Hjaq-no4/s320/DSC02536.JPG" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pgNlZ_nCRQA/TdjxjCmp7gI/AAAAAAAADgM/7rTl_BZG3og/s1600/DSC02549.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609498920186670594" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pgNlZ_nCRQA/TdjxjCmp7gI/AAAAAAAADgM/7rTl_BZG3og/s320/DSC02549.JPG" /><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"></a>They have a full passenger jet you can play in.

We will have to spend the rest of the year as normal people. :) No more 11 hour days, working thru the night. It’ll be tough, but we’ll manage. Here are a few photos of where we’ve been living the last 2 months at Indian Ridge campground. We’ll miss the free pool table and basketball court, but not the weather! It’s been below average cold this year, lows in the single digits, highs in the 20’s and 35 mph wind gusts have almost frozen everything we own. The trailer is sucking down propane like hot chocolate.<br /><br />Next stop Norfolk, Virginia! Home for the holidays, I can almost smell the Smithfield Ham cooking. Just a short 650 mile drive (dang) and we’re there! To borrow another line from Jerry Reed, the only thing better than a good ham dinner is two good ham dinners!<br /><br />Happy Holidays! That means Merry Christmas!<br /><br /></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TQbPs-RUx5I/AAAAAAAADZE/h9FQfXg9_8s/s1600/DSC01938.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550351962317571986" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TQbPs-RUx5I/AAAAAAAADZE/h9FQfXg9_8s/s320/DSC01938.JPG" /> <p align="center"></a>This is our site, with a view off the ridge<br /><br /></p><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TQbB58qRpCI/AAAAAAAADY8/Lpv7jsPsIdI/s1600/DSC01932.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550336792060863522" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TQbB58qRpCI/AAAAAAAADY8/Lpv7jsPsIdI/s320/DSC01932.JPG" /></a> Here's looking into our site<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TQarFmEdIEI/AAAAAAAADY0/Bd8fZtq1QK8/s1600/DSC01927.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550311703387643970" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TQarFmEdIEI/AAAAAAAADY0/Bd8fZtq1QK8/s320/DSC01927.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TQajfl7YAVI/AAAAAAAADYs/OCvy4Oa4kTw/s1600/DSC01926.JPG"></a><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TQajfl7YAVI/AAAAAAAADYs/OCvy4Oa4kTw/s1600/DSC01926.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550303353933136210" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TQajfl7YAVI/AAAAAAAADYs/OCvy4Oa4kTw/s320/DSC01926.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TQaYjmzvzCI/AAAAAAAADYk/5Gf3gYv9QYM/s1600/DSC01924.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550291328261147682" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TQaYjmzvzCI/AAAAAAAADYk/5Gf3gYv9QYM/s320/DSC01924.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TQaViI49m-I/AAAAAAAADYc/StiYP8DAlMw/s1600/DSC01923.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550288004515208162" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TQaViI49m-I/AAAAAAAADYc/StiYP8DAlMw/s320/DSC01923.JPG" /></a>With all the snow we've been doing some down hill sledding<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TQaSd3ySNuI/AAAAAAAADYU/FhunxV9Bfw0/s1600/DSC01948.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550284632669435618" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TQaSd3ySNuI/AAAAAAAADYU/FhunxV9Bfw0/s320/DSC01948.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TQaNVSV2R1I/AAAAAAAADYM/yUIJXLrfQ-g/s1600/DSC01949.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550278987620960082" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TQaNVSV2R1I/AAAAAAAADYM/yUIJXLrfQ-g/s320/DSC01949.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;ll=37.224588,-85.350766&amp;spn=0.008133,0.019205&amp;t=h&amp;z=16&amp;msid=108996154402421492480.00049721b2aef7483246f" target="_blank"><u>Our Google Map Location</u></a><br /><br /><a style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255); FONT-WEIGHT: bold"></div></div></div></div></div></div></a><br /><a style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255); FONT-WEIGHT: bold"></div><br /><br /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6754559207176548402-8177051270185735722?l=staffordsontheroad.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Staffordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06076924812231679313noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754559207176548402.post-64063433117943405032010-12-06T07:32:00.000-05:002010-12-06T07:32:00.947-05:00<div align="center">We’ve been working at Amazon.com for 5 weeks now. The fulfillment center is huge! The building is about a mile long and has 4 floors inside for storing everything and anything you can order off the internet. Jane &amp; I work as stowers, once a product is received we take it and try and find a place to store it. As soon as we stow it, it becomes available online. Amazon has 1200 regular employees and starting in October thru December they hire on an additional 3000 employees, AKA Amazon Elves! We obviously can’t take pictures of the inside, but this place would put Santa's workshop to shame!<br /><br /></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TPJZvZRAKrI/AAAAAAAADX8/rr_eIDoW7Zo/s1600/DSC01878.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544592762017426098" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TPJZvZRAKrI/AAAAAAAADX8/rr_eIDoW7Zo/s320/DSC01878.JPG" /><br /><p align="center"></a>All the trucks waiting to be unloaded<br /><br /></p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TPJZvrdLMrI/AAAAAAAADYE/cP0c_9L_awE/s1600/DSC01879.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544592766900318898" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TPJZvrdLMrI/AAAAAAAADYE/cP0c_9L_awE/s320/DSC01879.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TPJZvEad_xI/AAAAAAAADX0/Q3d6QleCJiU/s1600/DSC01876.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544592756419985170" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TPJZvEad_xI/AAAAAAAADX0/Q3d6QleCJiU/s320/DSC01876.JPG" /></a> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TPJZur0OomI/AAAAAAAADXs/LLWNa94fVHM/s1600/DSC01875.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544592749817143906" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TPJZur0OomI/AAAAAAAADXs/LLWNa94fVHM/s320/DSC01875.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TPJZuKSbpgI/AAAAAAAADXk/KXRcVM5wibo/s1600/DSC01873.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544592740817020418" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TPJZuKSbpgI/AAAAAAAADXk/KXRcVM5wibo/s320/DSC01873.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;ll=37.324902,-85.349715&amp;spn=0.008122,0.019205&amp;t=h&amp;z=16&amp;msid=108996154402421492480.000496a9bc22541b7f07f" target="_blank"><u>Our Google Map Location</u></a><br /><br /><a style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255); FONT-WEIGHT: bold"></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6754559207176548402-6406343311794340503?l=staffordsontheroad.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Staffordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06076924812231679313noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754559207176548402.post-82976214822891790912010-11-29T08:32:00.000-05:002010-11-29T08:32:00.834-05:00<div align="center">We stopped at Fall Creek Falls on our way to Amazon.com in Kentucky.

Bourbon Street is a famous and historic street that spans the length of the French Quarter. The most popular section of Bourbon Street is "Upper Bourbon Street". The street is home to many bars, restaurants, as well as souvenir shops. Though largely quiet during the day, Bourbon Street comes alive at night, particularly during the French Quarter's many festivals. Most popular among these is the annual Mardi Gras celebration, when Bourbon Street teems with hundreds of thousands of tourists.</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530471895905312994" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TMAu4zu3oOI/AAAAAAAADR8/R5cQ4KAohxo/s320/DSC01511.JPG" /></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TMAu55m2R9I/AAAAAAAADSU/_lTT7K4hUX4/s1600/DSC01551.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530471914662152146" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TMAu55m2R9I/AAAAAAAADSU/_lTT7K4hUX4/s320/DSC01551.JPG" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TMAu5siRi8I/AAAAAAAADSM/-XMG9Wf9ONc/s1600/DSC01542.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530471911153306562" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TMAu5siRi8I/AAAAAAAADSM/-XMG9Wf9ONc/s320/DSC01542.JPG" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TMAu5IlVhtI/AAAAAAAADSE/grn9cY8_XiA/s1600/DSC01520.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530471901502473938" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TMAu5IlVhtI/AAAAAAAADSE/grn9cY8_XiA/s320/DSC01520.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TMApciIwIzI/AAAAAAAADR0/yd14u6Jf7vU/s1600/DSC01556.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530465912587559730" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TMApciIwIzI/AAAAAAAADR0/yd14u6Jf7vU/s320/DSC01556.JPG" /></a><br />Wedding party marching down Bourbon Street<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TMApcdHWXdI/AAAAAAAADRs/uFVVgS4kSGk/s1600/DSC01558.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530465911239499218" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TMApcdHWXdI/AAAAAAAADRs/uFVVgS4kSGk/s320/DSC01558.JPG" /></a><br />No need to describe this photo :)<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TMApcKIhv7I/AAAAAAAADRk/wR1RAQlmUxw/s1600/DSC01564.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530465906144165810" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TMApcKIhv7I/AAAAAAAADRk/wR1RAQlmUxw/s320/DSC01564.JPG" /></a><br />The Trolley on Canal Street<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TMApbzopGMI/AAAAAAAADRc/iJxcOQbAbB8/s1600/DSC01573.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530465900104849602" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TMApbzopGMI/AAAAAAAADRc/iJxcOQbAbB8/s320/DSC01573.JPG" /></a><br />Lafayette Cemetary<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TMApbqxyzFI/AAAAAAAADRU/6Wk7RkGgyEU/s1600/DSC01579.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530465897727315026" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TMApbqxyzFI/AAAAAAAADRU/6Wk7RkGgyEU/s320/DSC01579.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;ll=29.959173,-90.061455&amp;spn=0.017698,0.038409&amp;t=h&amp;z=15&amp;msid=108996154402421492480.0004931fb6ad0785af49b" target="_blank"><u>Our Google Map Location</u></a><br /><br /><a style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255); FONT-WEIGHT: bold"></div></div></div></div></div></a><br /><a style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255); FONT-WEIGHT: bold"></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6754559207176548402-8747006704715435178?l=staffordsontheroad.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Staffordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06076924812231679313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754559207176548402.post-34092456715728316832010-10-19T08:15:00.002-04:002010-10-19T08:40:57.426-04:00<div align="center">We made it to the Lone Star State!

It was also landmark and camping area on the California Road. Settlers going west used this sandstone canyon for collection of fresh water and wagon repairs. On the west side of the canyon you still can see the wagon ruts. The canyon and the surrounding land were owned by Samuel Handley until his early death during the Depression/Dust Bowl. His widow sold the canyon and the rest of the lands and moved her family to California.<br /><br /></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">We found a nice spot for camping here.

There was no local law enforcement and the military had no jurisdiction over the town. Buffalo hunters, railroad workers, drifters and soldiers scrapped and fought, leading to the shootings where men died with their boots on. And that created a hasty need for a local burial place - Boot Hill Cemetery. The cemetery is now a part of downtown Dodge City. It was used until 1878. For six years before Boot Hill, Dodge City had no official cemetery. Persons dying who had friends, enough money or sufficient standing in the community were buried in the post cemetery at Fort Dodge. Others, penniless or unknown, were buried where it was convenient to dig a hole.<br /><br />Dodge City was the Buffalo capital for three years until mass slaughter destroyed the huge herds and left the Prairie littered with decaying carcasses. An estimated 850,000 Buffalo hides were shipped from Dodge City in the years 1872-1874. Farmers, during hard times, gathered the Buffalo bones and sold them for six to eight dollars a ton. The bones were used in the manufacture of china and fertilizer. By 1875 the Buffalo were gone as a source of revenue, but the Longhorn cattle of Texas drove the dollars into town. For ten more years, over five million head were driven up the western branch of the Chisholm and Western Trails to Dodge City. Law and order came riding in to town with such respectable officers as Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp, Bill Tilghman and Charlie Bassett. Out of these personalities evolved the famous fictional character of Marshal Matt Dillon. The town these early men knew was laid out with two Front Streets, one on either side of the railroad tracks. The city passed an ordinance that guns could not be worn or carried north of the "deadline" which was the railroad tracks. The south side where "anything went" was wide open. In 1876 the population was 1,200 and nineteen businesses were licensed to sell liquor.<br /><br /></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TKumVuPAQKI/AAAAAAAADP8/4zZftXSQcLg/s1600/DSC01449.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524692260018471074" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TKumVuPAQKI/AAAAAAAADP8/4zZftXSQcLg/s320/DSC01449.JPG" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TKumVVBUdhI/AAAAAAAADP0/cnG9Pjjslxk/s1600/DSC01448.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524692253250188818" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TKumVVBUdhI/AAAAAAAADP0/cnG9Pjjslxk/s320/DSC01448.JPG" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TKumUziw43I/AAAAAAAADPs/MNaPb8CEG9M/s1600/DSC01446.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524692244263658354" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TKumUziw43I/AAAAAAAADPs/MNaPb8CEG9M/s320/DSC01446.JPG" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TKumUsT8ElI/AAAAAAAADPk/f3xGsYJM6fs/s1600/DSC01439.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524692242322428498" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TKumUsT8ElI/AAAAAAAADPk/f3xGsYJM6fs/s320/DSC01439.JPG" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TKumUUVAMqI/AAAAAAAADPc/4adV10UzJ4E/s1600/DSC01438.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524692235884442274" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TKumUUVAMqI/AAAAAAAADPc/4adV10UzJ4E/s320/DSC01438.JPG" /></a> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524689641500926434" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TKuj9TfxYeI/AAAAAAAADOk/EbWFYkIBf5g/s320/DSC01414.JPG" /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TKuj-I8is5I/AAAAAAAADOs/ccYub8KxaV0/s1600/DSC01415.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524689655848678290" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TKuj-I8is5I/AAAAAAAADOs/ccYub8KxaV0/s320/DSC01415.JPG" /></a> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524689628802680674" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TKuj8kMRh2I/AAAAAAAADOM/GE2jNpjJ3_Q/s320/DSC01379.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524689636156772706" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TKuj8_loEWI/AAAAAAAADOU/EHjYr0hlorY/s320/DSC01387.JPG" /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TKuj9PIoHiI/AAAAAAAADOc/NTmQkAai4Wk/s1600/DSC01397.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524689640330108450" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TKuj9PIoHiI/AAAAAAAADOc/NTmQkAai4Wk/s320/DSC01397.JPG" /> <br /><p align="center"></a><br /><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;ll=37.743469,-100.012128&amp;spn=0.008128,0.019205&amp;t=h&amp;z=16&amp;msid=108996154402421492480.000491b62aa0930cd5d38" target="_blank"><u>Our Google Map Location</u></a><br /><br />Let's get the heck out of Dodge!! ;)<a style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255); FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><br /></p></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6754559207176548402-1366305151494005571?l=staffordsontheroad.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Staffordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06076924812231679313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754559207176548402.post-5782286456496468922010-10-05T06:45:00.004-04:002010-10-06T15:29:34.495-04:00<div align="center">Rocky Mountain National Park encompasses approximately 265,770 acres of land in Colorado's northern Front Range. The park is split by the Continental Divide, which gives the eastern and western portions of the park a different character. The east side of the park tends to be drier, with heavily glaciated peaks and cirques. The west side of the park is wetter and more lush, with deep forests dominating <br /> <br />The park contains 359 miles of trails, 150 lakes, and 450 miles of streams. The park contains over 60 named peaks higher than 12,000 feet, and over one fourth of the park resides above tree line. The highest point of the park is Longs Peak, which rises to 14,259 feet above sea level. <br /> <br /></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TKh2evCgdSI/AAAAAAAADN0/OHB-D5nLO9k/s1600/DSC01168.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

The park is so named because of its use as a natural corral by cowboys in the 19th century. The "dead horse" part of the name is that the corral was abandoned, but the horses did not leave the corral, even after the gate was left open, and died there.<br />The plateau is surrounded by sheer cliffs two thousand feet high, with only a narrow neck of land (30 yards wide) connecting the mesa to the main plateau. Thus it was easy for cowboys to simply fence off this narrow neck, and keep rounded up wild horses from running away. Legend has it that one group of horses was inadvertently left fenced in and eventually died of thirst. The area was also used in the final scene of the 1991 film Thelma &amp; Louise<br /></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TJoIFGMu3nI/AAAAAAAADLE/uMhngDod2Ys/s1600/DSC00792.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Cedar Breaks is a natural amphitheater canyon, stretching across 3 miles, with a depth of over 2,000 feet. The elevation of the rim of the canyon is over 10,000 feet above sea level. <br />The eroded rock of the canyon is similar to formations at Bryce Canyon National Park, but has its own distinct look. Because of its elevation, snow often makes it inaccessible to vehicles from October through May. <br /> <br /></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TIT1_w-IGHI/AAAAAAAADJU/uuj-z5pB2yk/s1600/DSC00518.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513802319634372722" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TIT1_w-IGHI/AAAAAAAADJU/uuj-z5pB2yk/s320/DSC00518.JPG" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TIT1-Y7UY4I/AAAAAAAADJE/g0o7SVrjZfw/s1600/DSC00549.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513802296000275330" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TIT1-Y7UY4I/AAAAAAAADJE/g0o7SVrjZfw/s320/DSC00549.JPG" /></a> <div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TIT19UzKdpI/AAAAAAAADI8/6luPFnfNWq4/s1600/DSC00550.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513802277712459410" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TIT19UzKdpI/AAAAAAAADI8/6luPFnfNWq4/s320/DSC00550.JPG" /></a> <br />Down in the valley is Cedar City <br /> <br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TIT18un8MBI/AAAAAAAADI0/OvSMBM3gZ5s/s1600/DSC00552.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513802267464839186" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TIT18un8MBI/AAAAAAAADI0/OvSMBM3gZ5s/s320/DSC00552.JPG" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TITyK9bDCuI/AAAAAAAADIs/7rkvvTt1O4c/s1600/DSC00554.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513798113908951778" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TITyK9bDCuI/AAAAAAAADIs/7rkvvTt1O4c/s320/DSC00554.JPG" /></a> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TITyKdmiDvI/AAAAAAAADIk/ew-QSGFc-FQ/s1600/DSC00555.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513798105367187186" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TITyKdmiDvI/AAAAAAAADIk/ew-QSGFc-FQ/s320/DSC00555.JPG" /></a>We hiked to this apline lake, you can see all the dead Spruce trees around.

It lies within and is the namesake of the Fishlake National Forest. Fish Lake is six miles long and one mile wide, lies in a geologic structure known as a graben valley.

They consist of debris eroded from former highlands and redeposited on a former tidal flat of alternating layers of sandstone, siltstone and shale. The rocks show evidence of being near an ancient sea with 1) the ebb and flow of tides, 2) tidal channels that directed currents back to the sea and 3) coastal sand dunes.<br />Joint or fracture patterns within the Entrada's sandstone beds created initial zones of weakness. The unweathered joints intersected to form sharp edges and corners with greater surface-area-to-volume ratios than the faces. As a result, the edges weathered more quickly, producing the spherical-shaped 'goblins'.<br /></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TCtA5AWzzqI/AAAAAAAAC3k/uOUi2ozN0Vk/s1600/DSC08722.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

This salt bed is thousands of feet thick in places, and was deposited in the Paradox Basin of the Colorado Plateau some 300 million years ago when a sea flowed into the region and eventually evaporated. Over millions of years, the salt bed was covered with debris eroded from the Uncompahgre Uplift to the northeast. </div><div align="center"> </div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TCiiDoLHsfI/AAAAAAAAC10/9azsgGc4D9E/s1600/DSC08553.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

The water of Pipe Spring has made it possible for plants, animals, and people to live in this dry desert region. Ancestral Puebloans and Kaibab Paiute Indians gathered grass seeds, hunted animals, and raised crops near the springs for at least 1,000 years. Pipe Springs was discovered and named by the 1858 Latter-day Saint missionary expedition to the Hopi mesas led by Jaco Hamblin. In the 1860s Mormon pioneers from St. George, Utah, led by James M. Whitmore brought cattle to the area and a large cattle ranching operation was established.<br /></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TBYqQK6dTJI/AAAAAAAACsk/zWxr8Zt5K-4/s1600/DSC07630.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

The park features coral-hued sand dunes located beside red sandstone cliffs. The Dunes are formed from the erosion of pink-colored Navajo Sandstone surrounding the park. High winds passing through the notch between the Moquith and Moccasin mountains pick up loose sand particles and then drop them onto the dunes because of the Venturi effect. The Dunes are estimated to be between 10,000 and 15,000 years old.<br /></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TBTatEJ1JEI/AAAAAAAACrU/4F_aX69VUMk/s1600/DSC07617.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482247114160677954" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TBTatEJ1JEI/AAAAAAAACrU/4F_aX69VUMk/s320/DSC07617.JPG" /></a> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TBTas-RXPdI/AAAAAAAACrM/MSlUluuM1rc/s1600/DSC07613.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482247112581660114" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TBTas-RXPdI/AAAAAAAACrM/MSlUluuM1rc/s320/DSC07613.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TBTasfh9H0I/AAAAAAAACrE/19WCHTvrtNg/s1600/DSC07608.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482247104329752386" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TBTasfh9H0I/AAAAAAAACrE/19WCHTvrtNg/s320/DSC07608.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TBTar9mRcRI/AAAAAAAACq8/c2RmSbqpFvU/s1600/DSC07605.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482247095221055762" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TBTar9mRcRI/AAAAAAAACq8/c2RmSbqpFvU/s320/DSC07605.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TBTVvlhQUoI/AAAAAAAACq0/FaPQwCsKD4c/s1600/DSC07618.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482241659918897794" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TBTVvlhQUoI/AAAAAAAACq0/FaPQwCsKD4c/s320/DSC07618.JPG" /></a> <div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TBTVu0c-grI/AAAAAAAACqs/XJpCK7m41CU/s1600/DSC07624.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482241646747615922" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TBTVu0c-grI/AAAAAAAACqs/XJpCK7m41CU/s320/DSC07624.JPG" /></a><br />And it snowed again....<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TBTVuT7_64I/AAAAAAAACqk/bawhSGNkvfE/s1600/last2.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482241638019361666" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TBTVuT7_64I/AAAAAAAACqk/bawhSGNkvfE/s320/last2.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TBTVuEp11NI/AAAAAAAACqc/YOHFVflPMFY/s1600/last3.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482241633916671186" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TBTVuEp11NI/AAAAAAAACqc/YOHFVflPMFY/s320/last3.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TBTVtYWV6RI/AAAAAAAACqU/pxVpVmQLc30/s1600/last.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482241622023727378" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/TBTVtYWV6RI/AAAAAAAACqU/pxVpVmQLc30/s320/last.JPG" /></a></div><br /><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;ll=37.050964,-112.709684&amp;spn=0.016406,0.038409&amp;t=h&amp;z=15&amp;msid=108996154402421492480.00048848f1f95f5bf884f" target="_blank"><u>Our Google Map Location</u></a><br /><br /><a style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255); FONT-WEIGHT: bold"></a></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6754559207176548402-3306046480484554024?l=staffordsontheroad.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Staffordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06076924812231679313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754559207176548402.post-59347568458106338112010-06-12T13:49:00.003-04:002010-06-12T14:38:50.849-04:00<div align="center">We hiked out to see some Toadstool Hoodoos in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument BLM.

Described as a steep trail, the trail head is 7200 feet. We made it to Cedar Ridge 6060 feet, the return trip of 1140 feet you cover in 1.5 miles will have you huffing and puffing! The trail is on the canyon wall and then you follow a ridge down. The views are breath taking!!

Within the park lies the Grand Canyon, a gorge of the Colorado River, considered to be one of the major natural wonders of the world. The park covers 1,902 miles of area in Coconino County and Mohave County.<br /><br />This is one of those places that is indescribable unless you are standing here!

Visitors may slide down a slick natural water chute or wade and sun along the creek.<br /><br />Originally the Pendley Homestead, is a 43-acre historic apple farm located in Oak Creek Canyon. Frank L. Pendley, having arrived in the canyon in 1907, formally acquired the land under the Homestead Act in 1910. Due to his pioneering innovation, he succeeded where others failed by establishing a unique irrigation system still in use by the park today. This allowed Pendley to plant his first apple orchard in 1912, beginning the pattern of agricultural development that has dominated the site since that time. Pendley also grew garden produce and kept some livestock.<br /></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S_-40qZQ04I/AAAAAAAACeE/xWxwnE_b19Y/s1600/DSC06633.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

The dunes were formed from sand and soil deposits of the Rio Grande and its tributaries, flowing through the San Luis Valley. Over the ages, westerly winds picked up sand particles from the river flood plain. As the wind lost power before crossing the Sangre de Cristo Range, the sand was deposited on the east edge of the valley. This process continues, and the dunes are slowly growing. The wind changes the shape of the dunes daily.<br /></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S-gLJQ5UHjI/AAAAAAAACXw/DtbRu6jlCMU/s1600/DSC06381.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469634001223556658" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S-gLJQ5UHjI/AAAAAAAACXw/DtbRu6jlCMU/s320/DSC06381.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S-gLIxt3pDI/AAAAAAAACXo/cQoCBHIKy-c/s1600/DSC06385.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469633992854053938" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S-gLIxt3pDI/AAAAAAAACXo/cQoCBHIKy-c/s320/DSC06385.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S-gLIM_aTkI/AAAAAAAACXg/P-5By8PuCwQ/s1600/DSC06387.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469633982995516994" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S-gLIM_aTkI/AAAAAAAACXg/P-5By8PuCwQ/s320/DSC06387.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S-gJQr4eRRI/AAAAAAAACXY/ITiRi9H2Em4/s1600/DSC06388.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469631929703613714" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S-gJQr4eRRI/AAAAAAAACXY/ITiRi9H2Em4/s320/DSC06388.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S-gJP6gCdQI/AAAAAAAACXQ/vmrKIvrXBAQ/s1600/DSC06389.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469631916447790338" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S-gJP6gCdQI/AAAAAAAACXQ/vmrKIvrXBAQ/s320/DSC06389.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S-gJPD0qKCI/AAAAAAAACXI/Glna274r4Z0/s1600/DSC06390.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469631901770328098" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S-gJPD0qKCI/AAAAAAAACXI/Glna274r4Z0/s320/DSC06390.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S-gJOxKMJpI/AAAAAAAACXA/3mO7d6AgHrw/s1600/DSC06391.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469631896760362642" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S-gJOxKMJpI/AAAAAAAACXA/3mO7d6AgHrw/s320/DSC06391.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S-gJOB7yaNI/AAAAAAAACW4/KIl885uMZTE/s1600/DSC06399.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469631884083488978" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S-gJOB7yaNI/AAAAAAAACW4/KIl885uMZTE/s320/DSC06399.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;ll=37.780484,-105.521622&amp;spn=0.260496,0.614548&amp;t=h&amp;z=11&amp;msid=108996154402421492480.0004863d46b4287c1346f" target="_blank"><u>Our Google Map Location</u></a><br /><br /></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /><a style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255); FONT-WEIGHT: bold"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6754559207176548402-4349598168789634795?l=staffordsontheroad.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Staffordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06076924812231679313noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754559207176548402.post-28844675381479313422010-05-03T20:15:00.001-04:002010-05-04T09:19:28.162-04:00<div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S99t0nN0-3I/AAAAAAAACWw/ZUCUbnKZCzc/s1600/7.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467209223298677618" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S99t0nN0-3I/AAAAAAAACWw/ZUCUbnKZCzc/s320/7.JPG" /></a> We're keeping an eye out for Bigfoot!</div><br /><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467209214171100386" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S99t0FNpNOI/AAAAAAAACWo/h5p3D5G42PI/s320/6.JPG" /></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S99t0FNpNOI/AAAAAAAACWo/h5p3D5G42PI/s1600/6.JPG"><br /><p align="center"></a>Found him!!

It is named after Swiss anthropologist Adolph Bandelier, who researched the cultures of the area. The main attraction of the monument is Frijoles Canyon, containing a number of ancestral pueblo homes, kivas, rock paintings and petroglyphs. Some of the dwellings were rock structures built on the canyon floor; others were "cavates" produced by voids in the tuff of the canyon wall and carved out further by humans.<br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465557125152840322" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9mPP2BXGoI/AAAAAAAACVA/ozFI2A1aOwk/s320/DSC05988.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465557114667339458" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9mPPO9bDsI/AAAAAAAACU4/ikaJ_LoB7d8/s320/DSC05976.JPG" /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9mQy5O-T1I/AAAAAAAACV4/S6peXIc_TyU/s1600/DSC06029.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465558826822291282" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9mQy5O-T1I/AAAAAAAACV4/S6peXIc_TyU/s320/DSC06029.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9mQybrk2OI/AAAAAAAACVw/XZyFgz3588g/s1600/DSC06020.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465558818889193698" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9mQybrk2OI/AAAAAAAACVw/XZyFgz3588g/s320/DSC06020.JPG" /></a> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465558808573920514" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9mQx1QORQI/AAAAAAAACVo/4nz4dbUeYys/s320/DSC06008.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465558796903608642" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9mQxJxzcUI/AAAAAAAACVg/K0abNpG9-q0/s320/DSC06006.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465557153777306002" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9mPRgp9yZI/AAAAAAAACVY/uWtYruBSrRg/s320/DSC05954.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465557146325149714" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9mPRE5O6BI/AAAAAAAACVQ/ilWVuC3ASmo/s320/DSC05957.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465557140168993474" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9mPQt9fasI/AAAAAAAACVI/VZFHSAOxalg/s320/DSC05973.JPG" /><br /><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;ll=35.781805,-106.27249&amp;spn=0.004178,0.009602&amp;t=h&amp;z=17&amp;msid=108996154402421492480.0004856069c010069800e" target="_blank"><u>Our Google Map Location</u></a><br /><br /></div><a style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255); FONT-WEIGHT: bold"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6754559207176548402-1119261587888540560?l=staffordsontheroad.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Staffordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06076924812231679313noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754559207176548402.post-8764323459348444842010-04-22T19:29:00.000-04:002010-04-29T10:07:13.887-04:00<div align="center">The Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks are located 40 miles southwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The area owes its remarkable geology to layers of volcanic rock and ash deposited by a volcanic explosion. Over time, weathering and erosion of these layers has created canyons and tent rocks. The tent rocks themselves are cones of soft pumice and tuff beneath harder caprocks.<br /><br />It’s a tight hike in the canyon to reach the top. The views are incredible on the way up, it’s like being on another planet.<br /><br /></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9DgUqRBERI/AAAAAAAACUg/LpmlL110R9s/s1600/DSC05934.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463112993548079378" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9DgUqRBERI/AAAAAAAACUg/LpmlL110R9s/s320/DSC05934.JPG" /></a> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463112979357324786" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9DgT1ZrVfI/AAAAAAAACUY/M8U0j1BfJLI/s320/DSC05893.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463112970327009986" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9DgTTwrqsI/AAAAAAAACUQ/Q3uT6fWq-Eo/s320/DSC05875.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463112966416969202" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9DgTFMdLfI/AAAAAAAACUI/rcLjfPGEtZE/s320/DSC05866.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463112956371030066" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9DgSfxUUDI/AAAAAAAACUA/3ztTWSNBvjw/s320/DSC05854.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463109963972062898" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9DdkUNzrrI/AAAAAAAACT4/DeMS28vLICo/s320/DSC05852.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463109946461074194" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9DdjS-3MxI/AAAAAAAACTw/jl2KRuIkV5c/s320/DSC05838.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463109937576616978" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9Ddix4pJBI/AAAAAAAACTo/od2nMd1p4dQ/s320/DSC05824.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463109920478425362" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9DdhyMHcRI/AAAAAAAACTg/dfYgWUwbJ5k/s320/DSC05820.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463109914908929186" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9DdhdcPrKI/AAAAAAAACTY/DYbmij7x5Ro/s320/DSC05811.JPG" /><br /><p align="center"><br /><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;ll=35.662701,-106.406922&amp;spn=0.016736,0.038409&amp;t=h&amp;z=15&amp;msid=108996154402421492480.000484dbd634688dfcc80" target="_blank"><u>Our Google Map Location</u></a><br /><br /></p><a style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255); FONT-WEIGHT: bold"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6754559207176548402-876432345934844484?l=staffordsontheroad.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Staffordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06076924812231679313noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754559207176548402.post-84872461494018722902010-04-22T19:08:00.000-04:002010-04-27T09:52:44.489-04:00<div align="center">The observatory consists of 27 independent antennas, each of which has a dish diameter of 82 feet and weighs 230 Short tons. The antennas are arrayed along the three arms of a Y-shape (each of which measures 13 miles long). Using the railroad tracks that follow each of these arms they can be moved along the Y. You might remember these from the 1997 Jodie Foster film Contact, much of the outdoor footage was shot at the VLA site.<br /></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9DaCIjYlZI/AAAAAAAACTQ/OJtmTyEw95c/s1600/DSC05711.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463106078190900626" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9DaCIjYlZI/AAAAAAAACTQ/OJtmTyEw95c/s320/DSC05711.JPG" /></a> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463106069835728274" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9DaBpbWxZI/AAAAAAAACTI/n0P2k24l1VY/s320/DSC05715.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463106056453204050" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9DaA3ktqFI/AAAAAAAACTA/i_Sdyr2CJwo/s320/DSC05705.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463104554582816258" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9DYpcq6NgI/AAAAAAAACS4/_C2UvzT6tgM/s320/DSC05689.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463104541436905570" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9DYorsriGI/AAAAAAAACSw/pBaiqVp7zZQ/s320/DSC05688.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463104533548188018" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9DYoOT3QXI/AAAAAAAACSo/1e0uLG4vQoE/s320/DSC05686.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463104521514283714" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9DYnhewcsI/AAAAAAAACSg/ZoJNf0y_BcY/s320/DSC05684.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463104516457970354" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9DYnOpPOrI/AAAAAAAACSY/XWb6fOkf9jE/s320/DSC05683.JPG" /><br /><p align="center"><br /><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;ll=34.078114,-107.614946&amp;spn=0.034124,0.076818&amp;t=h&amp;z=14&amp;msid=108996154402421492480.000484db5ab13b86385f8" target="_blank"><u>Our Google Map Location</u></a><br /><br /></p><a style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255); FONT-WEIGHT: bold"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6754559207176548402-8487246149401872290?l=staffordsontheroad.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Staffordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06076924812231679313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754559207176548402.post-42023709987438372162010-04-22T10:00:00.000-04:002010-04-26T09:46:43.712-04:00<div align="center">The desert is located in Tularosa Basin New Mexico. Its white sands are not composed of quartz, unlike most desert sands, but of gypsum and calcium sulfate. Unlike other desert sands, it is cool to the touch, due to the high rate of evaporation of surface moisture and the fact that the sands reflect, rather than absorb, the sun's rays.<br /><br />Now on to the fun stuff! Sledding the dunes!!! We all took turns sledding down the dunes, the sand is so fine and compacted the plastic discs slide like it was snow.<br /><br /></div><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMM_lZtp1J8/S9BZE_u6bTI/AAAAAAAACSQ/2CPzoDGgpo0/s1600/DSC05584.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;
