2015 Favorite Pics
Some favorite photographic moments from my 2015 trips through the Inter-Mountain states of the USA. As I reflect on these trips I realize these led to a pulmonary embolism that put my in the hospital. I was travelling in my Samurai and too many hours without moving my legs caused a blood clot that shed into my lungs. The good news is I came out OK and convinced me to buy a small RV with enough room to move my legs and provide me the ability to stop and stay where I please, not being pushed to keep-it-moving!
