Not only are the locals friendly (unlike most of the tourists), the scenery is beautiful. I like to think the reason for the river water being brown is that flowing with Coca-Cola. The real reason it’s brown is because it is stained from tree bark and from erosion.

If you get a chance to check it out stay at the lower falls if you want to sight see. Stay at the rivermouth if you’re looking to kayak, canoe, or boat.

In my travels, I was quite interested in these huge windmill farms in the middle of quite a few Iowa fields. We have a few in Michigan heading towards Harbor Beach, but nothing like what I saw in Iowa. They were spread out enough to not interfere with each other, but there were so many that they seemed to go on as far as I could see. It was a pretty incredible sight.

What gets me though is all of the so-called environmentalists who don’t like the windmills claiming it’s going to mess with the climate or some garbage. So yeah, windmills are somehow bad for the environment. And birds. Can’t forget all the birds the windmills kill…like the blades move at supersonic speeds, right? Sorry, I’m not buying it. Anyway, I guess we should just stick with mining the hell out of coal and burning that instead, because that’s the better alternative along with gasoline.

Some people’s children… :-p

The picture doesn’t do it justice, but here’s a nice view from Sedona.

This is an odd little tourist attraction. It really does look like the rock is balancing on another rock…just don’t look at what’s between the two rocks…

So far this is the most beautiful place in Arizona. Flagstaff wasn’t all that impressive. Here’s a shot of the mountains around Scottsdale…

What’s the furthest place in the U.S. you can get from Michigan before you have to turn around? OK I guess I don’t know the exact answer to that, but I’d like to call it Arizona. One day I’d like to call Arizona “home”…

It’s definitely a lot bigger up close…

So I was at the Harley store in Chicago and started looking at the tags. Everything was made in China. It’s pretty sad to see “Harley Davidson – An American Tradition” and right below it “Made in China”. However, they’re still charging “Made in America” prices…go figure.

The Busa just hit 8000 miles today…

As my time starts to free up (and it has), I’ll be posting more. Thanks for hanging in there!
