Just checking off my 281st National Park unit, the recently designated Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument just north of Vegas. #fb

Explored the ruins of Camp Bouse, General Patton’s secret tank testing ground within the WWII Desert Training Center in western Arizona. Not a lot left out there, but still fun to wander around. More pics coming. #fb Auto-generated description: A flat, cracked concrete slab is situated in a desert landscape with sparse shrubs and mountains in the background.

Today, I stopped in for a beer at Somewhere Arizona. πŸ“ Somewhere Arizona Saloon

Yup, the cup still resides in its rightful location. #GoDevils #TerritorialCup #fb

The Cup lives here.

A shiny, ornate silver trophy with curved handles is displayed on a dark cloth.

A vibrant sunset with orange and pink clouds stretches across the sky above a silhouetted landscape.

Last light illuminates a cloud over Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.

Raise your hand if you knew there were ruins of a major War Relocation Camp (WWII Japanese Internment Camp) in the desert just south of Phoenix. I stopped by the ruins yesterday…wow, what a story to be better told.

Enjoying a Red Wings win!

#fb comment from Michelle Bresnahan:

That dude behind you is subtly pleased about being in your photo.

And my reply:

We framed it so that the red wing logo would be in the shot. He had to shift a bit to make it so.

Word.

Finally made it up to the golf ball on Humboldt Mountain. Great view from up there.

Sunset over Horseshoe Lake

Sparky wants in on the action.
