While checking out the high-water on the Mississippi, I caught a pic of this guy cooling his feet at the Melvin Price Lock and Dam.

Happened upon this Buick convertible a couple weeks back. Late 40s/early 50s. One of the coolest grills ever.

One of many scenic views from last week's Tour de Wyoming. Incredible ride......in spite of a cracked rear wheel. This view is just after the last tunnel on Needles Highway heading up the last climb headed towards Keystone.....not far before the pigtails!!!

Just love this photo and wanted to see it bumped to the top again.
I think I'd prefer to ride up than down - the fun lasts longer.
