• Leiden-Bikers1

  • From: shattman
  • Description:

    Biking was the basic means of transportation. I even biked to work the month I lived there ['74]. I was proud of this shot because I panned the camera as the bike went by and washed out the background while the bikers remained in focus. It was my only try-- the difficult part was waiting until the slides came back to see if it had worked.

• Beware Horses and Burros

  • From: Buqo
  • Description:

    Wild horse and burros are a legacy of the Spanish explorers and the prospectors that once combed the mountains in search of gold and silver.  Few horses remain from a herd that once numbered almost 40.  A few years ago, the BLM decided to control the burro population by removing all the Jacks (males) and leaving only the Jennys (females).  The next year, we had one of the finest crops of mules west of Missouri!  Be careful, the burros bite and have a kick that can puncture the side of a house.

    The Keystone cliffs are formed of Jurassic age sandstone called the Aztec Sandstone that formed in a sea of sand dunes that covered the region long ago.  Overlying this sandstone in the Spring Mountains to the west are much older Paleozoic carbonate rocks that have been thrust over the younger Aztec Sandstone along the Keystone Fault, a major geologic structure in southern Nevada.

    This picture of Red Rock was taken at the Spring Mountain Ranch State Park at the southern end of Red Rock.  The high desert is beautiful but beware of the native vegetation such as cholla and yucca that will stab you at the slightest provocation.  Be nice to our vegetation and our vegetation will be nice to you.

• What a rewarding day

  • From: skism013
  • Description:

    This picture was taken on top on a rock during a water stop in Rocky Mountain National Park. We were biking across the country and the Rocky Mountains was a hurdle in our way. This day we were biking the highest paved road in the country, Trail Ridge. It was a very hard day, but so rewarding. The higher and higher we got, the more beautiful the landscape became.

• Medora, North Dakota

  • From: Jerry Dusterhoff
  • Description:

    Medora, North Dakota is right off Interstate 94 in the western part of the state, almost to Montana.  This is the best place to center your sightseeing in Theodore Roosevelt National Park (both units) and Badlands National Park, cycling, and/or hiking activities.  For cycling or horseback riding, the Maah Daah Hey trail provides strenuous exercise and for entertainment, the Medora Musical is highly acclaimed.

    The town itself, only several blocks square, has sufficient motel space to accommodate many visitors.  There are also other places to stay within a few miles.  We spent two nights at the Eagle Ridge Lodge and rate it A+.  One of the best scenic views in all of our sightseeing in this area came from sitting on the patio sipping a beverage.  Eagle Ridge, while technically a B&B, includes breakfast AND dinner.    The owners, Joann and Paul Douglas, really know how to be perfect hosts.  See their website for complete information: http://www.eagleridgelodge.com/index2.htm

    For standard sightseeing, drive through the Theodore Roosevelt (South Unit) National Park, the entrance located as you come into town.  There is a thirty-six mile loop, with many places to pull off and experience the view or to hike down a trail for an even better view.  Thank goodness for digital cameras, where you can take pictures of everything, then delete those that don’t measure up. 

    We spent the morning exploring the South Unit, then drove the seventy-odd miles to see what the North Unit had to offer.  Folks staying at Eagle Ridge had driven the North Unit the day before and saw the herd of bison (don’t call them buffalo!) with calves.  They must have known we were coming and wandered behind a hill or something.  We saw only one male. 

    One of the Medora establishments we can highly recommend is Western Edge Books, Artwork, and Music.  In addition to finding my book (signed copies) there, they stock an extensive selection of western and especially local, books and artwork.  If you stay more than two days, you have no excuse not to stop by.
