Yosemite - Half Dome - I
had a chance to visit
Yosemite
National Park in early May 2009. On the way to the park I
stopped at the
Yosemite Sierra Visitor Information Center in Oakhurst, CA.
They were very helpful and suggested that I stop at Glacier
Point while in the park. A great recommendation. The views from
Glacier Point are spectacular. The point is 3400 feet above the
valley. Click
here to fly to Glacier Point using Google Earth. I took almost 100 photos of the park. I have included a few here. Half Dome is the most spectacular feature in the near landscape. |

Mount Rushmore - Keystone, South Dakota - Mount Rushmore memorializes the birth, growth, preservation and development of the United States of America. Between 1927 and 1941, Gutzon Borglum and 400 workers sculpted the 60-foot busts of Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln to represent the first 150 years of American history. It had snowed [in September 2003] the night before I visited causing the sky to be very clear. The most downloaded photo from this site. It has been downloaded over 65,000 times. |

Putting Course, Signature Resorts - Las Vegas - I stayed at the Signature Resorts and RV Park during November 2004. There is a very pretty 9 hole, putting course near the clubhouse. It is a fun course. The residents have a 'tournament' every Friday. Teams are assigned by committee. Usually 2 men and 2 women on each team. I was fortunate, on the only Friday I was able to play, to be on the wining team. We each put in $3 and got back $7. Everyone gets a free beer. |
