    As you know Lol, having lived there, it is a beautiful country, particularly Wyoming.
    I didn't care much for Vegas and hardly any of us on the tour liked Salt Lake City, full of what appeared to be 'brainwashed penguins' the rest was stunning.:thumb:
    Started at Denver, glad it wasn't this week with Obama there!!!:eek:

    Oh come on strongy.:)

    I hate cities, but Las Vegas has to be seen to be believed, if only for a couple of days.

    And Salt Lake City has got to be the cleanest place around.

    Wouldn't want to live in either, but good to visit.

    Dont ever look at the people in a place myself.
    People are boring wherever you go.:rolleyes::D

    Thanks for the latest wonderful episode, Strongy, really enjoyed it again.

    That jay is beautiful, looks like it is wearing a black hood and cape :D

    I'd say it is a chipmunk, not a squirrel.

    Goodness, I've never seen anything like that Antler Arch :eek: and not sure that I like it, but it is amazing and even somewhat pagan ;)

    Lovely pic of Old Faithful, how close were you permitted to get?

    Pete, I didn't like Vegas, maybe it was just the greed thing, yes the buildings were impressive but pointless extravagance.
    The overpowering Mormon presence at SLC was intimidating to a degree but we were only there one day.
    Kedi, there are seats all around enough for a few hundred people at I guess about 100 metres away or less.

    Each to his own strongy, must admit Brigham Young is a bit overdone in Salt Lake.

    Kedi, the antlers just drop off at the end of the season, I think, so not a problem really.
