    Boy, Brad, it's hard for me to pick a favorite from these shots. ALL ARE EXCELLENT. That is some kind of interesting terrain.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Beautiful part of AZ. Love the formations, the light. Everything. #2 cracks me up-almost looks like a monster sticking it's tongue out :D

    Thanks.

    I didn't see the monster before but now I not only see his body and face, but I am envisioning his long tentacles stretching out on either side of the frame.

    Not going to bode well for sleep tonight. Thanks a lot. :D

    #4 is my fave! Sky didn't contribute to your cause! Nice place! Another wishlist item to remain unfulfilled!

    Thanks.

    Yes, it was bummer there were not more clouds. I missed the only cloud opportunity we had the first evening we arrived. The next two days there were clear blue skies. Drat.

    Brad, those are all good, but here are my fave's… #1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The light on the rock surfaces is stunning.

    White Pocket finally got some rain water in the tanks over the last couple weeks. Lots of pools around Cottonwood Cove too. Just in there yesterday.

    Of course I did. Piece-o-cake. :D The ranger that came by was impressed since we didn't stop at the parking lot and went all the way in through the deeply rutted sand to the flat rock.

    No problems at all with the tires on the 4Runner and trailer aired down.

    The following photos are from Dave Amodt. One taken from his quad copter drone.
