Photo Shoot

All downhill from here!
At times, besides the persistent roadside litter, there wasn't much to look at on the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation. Then the Sun set in Bylas, Arizona.


This is our first true desert camp. There were no towns for thirty miles in any direction but we stocked up on rations and avoided any reptile encounters.

After eating four doughnuts Max confidently exlaimed, "I'm still starving, I could eat all the glazed doughnuts left in that case." So naturally, we put him up to the challenge. He only ate four.

The Algones dunes in Eastern California. Max got a flat so I walked out into the dunes where some dune buggies stopped to see if I was okay. Turns out, I was just eating some yogurt while exploring the endless sand.
