You can't say the Garmin didn't warn you. I think you're round the bend :)
What a great trip Joe. I love seeing those rock formations from the old westerns. I am not sure about that road though. LOL!
Incredible scenery and video!
What a LOT of photos. I think I could appreciate them more if they were posted over a few separate posts. The scenery is amazing! I never made it to that part of the country. Thanks for posting.
Incredible captures, Joe, of an awesome trip!! So much beauty! Thanks so much for sharing the beauty with us today! I do love the rock formations and the many different moods of the skies! Enjoy your week!
Such wide open spaces. Hard for me to imagine the scale of it all. Thanks for sharing.
The soil and rocks are such an amazing colour. I had forgotten how beautiful!
Isn't it the most wonderful area in the world? We really enjoyed our visit to MV this summer.
Now that's my kind of a road trip. Maybe this fall.
