hey, cool thread cougar....glad you brought it back up to the top.

I've been to Zion, but we missed bryce. That whole area around the "4 corners" is the neatest area i've ever been to. Your pictures are great. they give me flashbacks. The one of the big stormy sky in ??eastern colorado/west kansas?? is particularly striking. how near the clouds are to the ground.

When we rode across that way, i remember seeing a radio tower in the distance for 2.5 hours until we finally reached it ( going 70mph).....a storm blew up from the west, followed by the biggest double rainbow i've ever seen.

on that same stretch of road, as we rode in the car, we heard a loud !!BANG!! , and corn chips came flyin out of the back of the car all over us. It seems that as we dorve west into CO, our altitude was steadily increasing, and the atmospheric pressure was dropping. So much, that the air pressure inside the new bag of tostitos that sat on the back shelf of our car finally overcame the external air pressure, and it exploded. messy.
