Postcard From The Lamoille Canyon Scenic Byway, Nevada
Postcard From The Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum
One of my most-looked-forward-to stops was the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon. The highlight of the visit was getting to see Howard Hughes’ H-4 Hercules aircraft, most commonly known as the “Spruce Goose.”
Wikipedia has a good summary of the aircraft and how it ended up in Oregon for anyone who is interested.
Postcard From The Oregon Coast
Remarkably, this is probably one of the clearest photos I got of the actual coast of Oregon. Taken near the Cape Mears Lighthouse. Fortunately, this pretty much matches what I thought the coast would look like, so I wasn’t too disappointed. Although I will be happy to try again on a future visit!
Postcard From Cannon Beach, Oregon
We left Cannon Beach Friday morning but I am getting closer to “real time” with my posts! We encountered a lot of fog along the coast but got into a lot of smoke as we headed back inland toward the Willamette Valley.
Postcard From The National Bison Range in Montana
Postcard From Yellowtail Dam, Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area
I’m not sure how it compares to Glen Canyon size-wise, but it was among the tallest I’ve seen. There is a truck parked in front of the red building that will give some scale. You have to go there on purpose – the dam itself is about 50 miles off of I-90 and the lake extends into northern Wyoming. You can’t (easily) get to the southern end from the northern except via boat.
Postcard From Bighorn Canyon, Wyoming
We caught this scene while passing through the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area in North central Wyoming a few days ago!
Another Postcard from Nebraska
I’m a few days behind in processing photos – we are currently in Pullman, Washington. This one will hopefully whet the appetite until I can get closer to caught up.
Weird weather day in store today – after beautiful skies and warm yesterday, they are talking high winds and blowing dust with high of only 70. Sending it Monte’s way, it sounds like!
Postcard From Mason City, Nebraska
This one could be classified as one of my “Roadside Finds” but it was a nice old mill in a very small town in rural Nebraska that I thought was worthy of a Postcard. 😉
