Following the wind (pics)
 

On Mother's Day I (with an uncle) headed out on a little road trip. I have been kind of a slacker on my blog updates, but I am starting to get caught up a little while I wait for Fed Ex to get here.

Sunday we spent in Arizona pretty much along I-40 and old Route 66. Here are a few sample pics.

Monday we left Flagstaff and started working southeast. Our first stop was the Walnut Canyon National Monument which is famous for its cliff dwellings.

As always, you can see all the photos [as they go up] at GotBaddog.com

Nice pictures, hope you had a great trip :)

nice pics :thumbsup

Thanks, still on it though. Waiting for some weather to follow.

Ive been to Walnut Canyon National Monument, very cool indeed!

Fuck I want to go too, instead of sitting in this dull grey office with frustrated coders and ADHD business developers :1orglaugh

Have a great trip then, keep sharing those photos so we can at least dream a little :)

Nice pictures :)

nice pics.

again, always jealous of your travels :thumbsup

A few of mine (Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada):

Sorry for the quality (I'm not a pro in prhotography and my old cihp-ass camera sucks)

Is it just me or does that cloud look like Scooby Doo? :1orglaugh

Looks like a very evil Scooby Doo IMHO :)

That is absolutely nice!!

Looks more like a dragon to me.

Related at least. I thought it looked more demon like, but I never watched Scooby Doo much. I see the resemblance though.


I will be heading to TN today, then back up to IN. Over the weekend there should be some action in the plains.

Anyone that is in the area and wants to go for a little ride . . . contact me.

Nice pics. Remember where this was?

Great pics baddog! :)

Yes Sir, it was Arizona. Somewhere near this point:

Its right along the nm, az border

But on the Arizona side however :)

Next border was Hoover Dam

It's were we have adjusted our clocks :)

When were these taken? Was the new bridge open yet?

I don't know if it was an "old" or a "new" bridge. It was just a bridge over Hoover Dam :)

These photographs look great. Clear blue skies and white clouds are pretty. Mountains on the horizon are pretty.

Nice shots in here!

Thanks all. Done for the day, so going to put up a few more galleries.

After leaving the cliff dwellings, we happened across the meteor crater by Meteor City, AZ. It is amazing the hole that is left when a rock hits you at 22,000 MPH.

great pics man! I loved the desert rides on Arizona and Nevada roads ;)

That could look's like a Female Lion in a way

I fucking hate the fact that I live my vacation Fantasies through BadDogs posts!

Where you on your bikes? Thats a ass long trip to be on a bike.

Cool looking pix

Barringer Crater. I want to go there...

Wow these pictures are cool! They really want to make me get the hell away from my computers and travel some. Good for you, BD - glad to see someone getting some sunshine and fresh air.

Last summer I was in Las Vegas and went boating and swimming in Lake Meade, right near the hoover dam. If you get a chance to do this while you're there, try it. Being in the water surrounded by those huge red rocks make you feel like you're swimming on Mars or something - feels very alien!

Have a nice trip!

Thanks for those wonderful pictures... nice shot

I like turtles.

No, I am in my car with my dog. My uncle joined me for the first week then flew back to San Francisco. I have been hanging out in Indiana for a few days and went down to Kentucky today. I am waiting for some storms to start kicking up again before I head back west.

Nice stuff BD, always like when you take me out into America. :)

Absolutely cool - more pics ????

awesome photos man!!!!

Where in tn are you going?

Never made it that far. KY had too many distractions.

Cool pics dude :thumbsup

If you hit tn, let me know. I see the mountains in my backyard :)

What part? Biggest city around it?

Great pics baddog.

Nice pics! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks. If rapture does not take me away, I will get some more up later. Just don't see the point if I am not going to be here tomorrow.

I am such a slacker. Anyway, after leaving the meteor crater we continued down the road and came to the Painted Desert. If you are ever in the area take an hour (at least) and check it out.

I live in seymour, it is about 20 miles outside of pigeon forge. The biggest city close is knoxville, tn.

There must be a Seymour, IN too as I seem to recall spending the night there last week. We were in Pigeon Forge in '09. Very nice place to visit.

I will post some pics of the mountains soon :) I love it here. I will give you free dollywood tickets if you come up again.
