Sorry about your friend. It is good you were able to see him again on your trip. I wish you could have continued the blog but it must have been very time consuming. You have seen more of my country than I have.
We just got home from our Texas trip last night. Nevada,Utah,Colorado, New Mexico,Texas, and Arizona. The land in Utah was so overwhelming I didn't take many pictures in the middle of the trip.
