We took a 23 day driving trip up the coast of CA then cut over to Yosemite followed by the Tetons, Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, and Crazy Horse.  We had a great time and took hundreds of pictures, and these are just a few of them.

"Summer in July"  submitted by Clif Robinson

Thought you might like to see how some of the club members are enjoying global warming.  This picture was taken on July 11th in southern Idaho.  Those playing in the snow are Tom and Judi Schutt and Ann Remaklus and Clif Robinson.  Needless to say we're having a great summer.

We are now in Alaska having traveled up the Alaska Highway.  I thought, for those who have not traveled up the highway, that a couple pictures of something unusual would be in order.  These are some pictures from Watson Lake, Yukon of their Signpost Forest.

"The forest was started in 1942 by a homesick U.S. Army G.I., Carl K. Lindley of Danville, Il., Company D, 341st Engineers.  While working on the Alaska Highway, he erected a sign here pointing the way and stating the mileage to his hometown.  Others followed his lead and are still doing so to this day.  On July 20, 1990, Olen and Anita Walker of Bryan, Ohio placed the 10,000th sign."  (http://www.yukoninfo.com/watson/signpostforest.htm)

We left our hotel room in Moab, Ut at 4AM to get to this spot at sunrise.  Many photographers were there with us.  It's a magical place.
