Well I’m back, after spending four spectacularly glorious weeks, free-as-a bird tooling along some of America’s best scenic drives.

Don't know why the pics are coming out different sizes. They're all resized to 900. I found a lot of "SOL" signs and of course, I had to take pictures of them.

Sun broke for a little while but we were out of there by 6pm. It was magnificent and it certainly helped me deal with my fear of heights.
Smoking clutch on the way down, tho.
