You certainly were in the deep wildnerness. I'm glad you didn't get lost. Such beauty you have captured here Laura. I can see why you like to go there often. It must be a very hard place to leave. Glad you're back Laura. #7779353

OMG indeed, SSSLala!!
Spectacular scenery.
Really 3 dimensional!
Did you just say 4 dimensional? The 4th being time or Minkowski space? HAHAHAHAHA! I looked that up to impress you - I haven't a clue what it means really.
This is SUCH a beautiful photo anyway. Awesome in every way, Sis. #7779596

Thank you all so much for commenting!!!

Hi Ann! We nearly DID get lost a couple of times. :) !!! But on roads, not trails. We were in the deep woods so we didn't walk too far in.

Hi SSSKiki! I AM INDEED IMPRESSED even though none of us had any idea what you said! HA! Minkowski Space, hey? I guess I'd better look it up now, too!!!

* * *

Hi Laura Lee!!! Yes we did see lots of strange critters but not running through our camp...good thing or -I- would have been running through the campsite, too!!! HA!

* * *

Wait till you come here Ron. Even OSCAR will want to live here!!!

Thanks lots Brother Rolan! This was such a pretty vista. We were on top of a hill standing there looking down and looking WAY WAY out. Those Rockies were actually a fair distance away.

I appreciate each word here. Thanks all!!!
