    It is OK in the West. Some of us actually live here.

    We wanted to head down your way this year but the wife's surgery changed those plans

    That first picture has 4 or so of my ice fishing spots for the north end and west side of the lake.

    Been a lot of 20-30# Lake trout drug through ice in this area.

    Glad you enjoyed my stomping grounds.

    @austin20 are you posting pics from your phone or computer?

    If from your phone do a screenshot of the original pic. Then go to your gallery and pull up the screenshot. Crop the pic to what you want to post. Post the cropped screenshot.

    Don't ask me how it works, I just know that it does.

    I took a screenshot of your posted pic, rotated it to the correct alignment, cropped it to remove the extraneous parts, then posted the final product.

    That is truly a great photo of Devils tower. I have spent several days there watching guys climb that thing. Way beyond my climbing skills.

    Thank you. We hiked the trails around it but no climbing for us

    The tower is (of course) the core of an ancient volcano. Some basalt cools in an unusual way, leaving hexagonal columns. This is an example of such. What we see now was once over a mile deep in the ground, all of which has now blown away by the wind. The West is covered with lava fields and ash deposits from volcanoes including Yellowstone and others along the NW coast. Every Western state has extinct volcanoes - plus many that are technically still active or only dormant.

    Beautiful pics😊, I THINK there is room on the left for Joey.


    @austin, how were the "crowds" there at Rushmore? and rooms available?

    Snickering at the translation of "Tetons" is cute. There are or were some much bawdier place names in the West. One near here in Utah is a small peak just north of where the transcontinental railroad originally ran. Probably named after one of the many bar girls who "entertained" rowdy railroad workers, the unmistakably shaped rock used to be known as "Mollie's Nipple."

    Maps used to but no longer carry that evocative nomenclature.

    There have been some spicy names!

    I can remember looking at a topo map of Sherman County, OR years ago and seeing a ridge called N*****r Ridge.

    The story was that a black fella passing through ran afoul of some of the locals and was hung in the only tree on that ridge.

    Dos Cabezas Arizona was known as Dos Chichas until statehood.

    We have this mountain here in Madison County North Carolina. It was named prior to the release of Deliverance.

    I'm 61 years young and our great nation still amazes me with the diversity of land, climate, flora and fauna. I would love to see a little bit of all of it. Alas, I might never, yet I will try.

    Kauaii is beautiful. My wife and I were married there. Much more laid back than Maui.

    There are only two decent things about Honolulu: the Iolani Palace and Pearl Harbor

    I would humbly add one more.......The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (The National Punchbowl Crater Cemetery).

    Long ago, my new wife and I visited Ernie Pyle's grave there..........a very serene place.

    I most humbly apologize for forgetting PunchBowl.
