America, the Beautiful: Share Your Pics!
A bit late for me to be doing a post like this, consider the 4th’s already almost done, but whatever. The notion popped into my head that it’d be fun to do a post where we all just share pics of the U.S.’s many beautiful landscapes. I’ll kick off with a few photos of mine of some scenic spots in Nevada. If you have any pics you’ve taken of beautiful locales in the U.S., please share. And Happy Independence Day!

“The Hogback” between Boulder, UT and Escalante, UT – this highway was completed in 1947, before then there was only a seasonal road that had been constructed in the 1930’s. Mail was delivered by mule train to Boulder up until the 1947 road was completed. Electricity was also delivered there in 1947 as well.
12 Mile Canyon in central Utah. I live in the valley in the mid-upper of the photo.
Love that place. Here I am on the mountain about 15 years ago.
