We are in the final 1/3 of our trip through parts of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Arizona. This may seem more arduous than it really is, as a part of our route included the place where all four states come together in a single point, allowing you to literally stand in all four states at the same time.
I had hoped for better opportunities to photograph the canyon lands of Utah. However, the great bonus of traveling with Ellie and Frisco pretty much eliminated the opportunities to photograph in the best light. I plan to come back and spend days and evenings as a photographer--but if I do, I am sure to miss my priceless companions. From the pictures I was able to take, I have posted a few on the blog whose link appears below. These would be much better in more dramatic lighting conditions, but that will have to wait for another day.
AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT: We arrived at our motel tonight to find the internet connection in our room was through a single ethernet connection-in other words, no wireless access was available, and it appeared only one computer could access the internet at a time. There is probably something similar for PCs, that I don't know about, but our daughter explained that (at least on Apples running Leopard) the internet connection of one computer (tethered to the eathernet cable) can creat a wireless network for the other Apple computers. We were able to be running three laptops and an iPhone from the single ethernet connection. The whole thing took under 30 seconds. This can make the time in the hotel much more enjoyable and productive, and I thought it was worth mentioning, as others may well find themselves in similar circumstances.
