Went camping over the weekend in Pisgah National Forest, near Cold Mountain.
JB is awfully sore now.

Time Well Spent in Midland, TX
Jack rabbit!
Permian Basin Petroleum Museum
My Dad's windmill
Waiting for go-carts
My Dad took us to an old Apache site. We looked for holes in the rock where corn was ground. My Grandfather used to come here looking for arrowheads; guess he got them all.
Watering station at the ranch
He said he liked the onion rings, except for the white things inside.
Craig got his chicken fried steak

Our Christmas in California (3 months later)

Our hotel lobby in Union Square, SF
Also in San Francisco are the Legion of Honor and de Young Museums. We saw two exhibits: a Japanese woodcut exhibit and an exhibit of impressionist paintings from the Musee D'Orsay in Paris.
Woodcutting is incredibly difficult. Each color represents a separate block of wood that has been carved and readied for printing. Notice the rain; that particular block of wood had to be mostly carved away leaving small slivers of wood, which produce the lines of rain. 
In this exhibit we saw the 36 Views of Fuji. Also in the exhibit was the West's response: the 36 Views of the Eifel Tower.
This was also a later example of the West's responseto the Japanese style of woodcutting.
de Young Museum, Golden Gate Park, SF
A good selection of the impressionist masters were on exhibit at the de Young.
Rousseau is a new found favorite
There were several other areas of the de Young open with different exhibits.
