the Barge, crammed full of guitars, CDs, and everything else i still own:



Kansas is more interesting than you'd think:



i'm now at the Super 8 in Abilene. hooray for free wi-fi! tomorrow i'm going to see some of the sights of Abilene: the Eisenhower Museum and Library, some Santa Fe Trail sites, and a scenic drive in the Flint Hills. surprisingly, Kansas is very different to Nebraska; the landscape has a Thomas Hart Benton quality to it, with rolling hills punctuated by small stands of trees in the low spots. i really enjoyed the drive over today.

i want to know how many puppies i have to smother to get a job in Denver...if i lived that close to the Rockies 24/7/365 i'd be out every other weekend.

This is making me wanna go back out west (I had been as a kid and was totally enamored with the Rockies). Great pics.

thanks for the colorado pics... lived there for a bunch of years, actually going back to visit later this week!

safe travels, dub!

edit: if you do not mind me asking, what kinda work are you looking for? i still have a couple hookups in denver / co springs / vail valley... feel free to pm me, man...

thank you...it's a little Olympus point/focus/shoot camera, but it does a pretty good job. i need to learn the various electronic functions, but since the manual is on a CD i haven't gotten to working with it.

EPIC THREAD.

Mountains are really cool. I remember being on a mountain in New Mexico and being able to see mountains in Colorado.

I love my state so much. Never get tired of watching the sun set on the mountains.

This is awesome. Good luck with your trip, man.

i arrived at my destination in Des Plaines, IL yesterday evening. more photos presently.

Something tells me Iowa pics wont be as cool as Colorado.


Mostly the fact that I've driven through Iowa countless times (I have family in Omaha).

glad to hear you made the trip safely dude.

Great THREAD... I always Love seeing the Dubkitty...

I miss CO now... Glad you made it to IL and I hope you get settled in and get back on ILF soon...

Council Grove, KS:

in Kansas there's a National Monument devoted to the largest remaining tract of undisturbed prairie in North America. the park HQ is placed next to a historic stone house and other ranch buildings which at one time were among the most impressive structures in Kansas.

outbuilding with original style sod roof:

the prairie grass wasn't as tall as usual because of the summer drought...it'd normally grow to six feet. 1/3 of North America was once covered by this ecosystem.

the Tallgrass Prairie preserve is located in the Flint Hills, a lovely area full of rolling hills and beautiful wildflowers:
