My week-long Nevada, Utah, Arizona road trip has come to an end. The weather (although bloody hot) has been most cooperative. I managed to not crash my drone, or car, or get stranded in the middle of nowhere despite a few close calls on all counts. Most importantly, I returned with a treasure trove of photos I have been wanting to make for many years. As a bonus, I am returning several pounds lighter, the result of skipping at least one meal everyday, several daily hikes, and the sweltering temperatures.

I am eager to see Jeanine again when she returns tomorrow from her adventures in Greece. Her photos and texts suggest she has been relaxing in paradise, sampling the wonderful food and culture, visiting the sights, and enjoying the company of friends, old and new.
