Is that the priority order?  |

The Olympic mountains far off, and a wide view into the Puget sound.
Can you find the Seattle skyline?

Ahh the good old Chapel of the Transfiguration. I dated a gal from Jackson for years and thought I was gonna marry her in that chapel. Still have a soft spot for Jackson's nature and scenery... if I had $100 million and could stomach the pretentious attitude of too many of the locals I'd probably live there. 
Great shot! Congrats on your wedding! You've got everything you'll ever need in life right there.

This photo was taken somewhere in the Panamint Valley of California, just west of Death Valley. Shortly before stopping for the night I had spotted what appeared to be a corner reflector (RADAR). Closer inspection revealed it to be just that. Hmm... not to worry.
That night I was rudely awakened by several low level F4 passes. I know an F4 when I hear one, having worked their ECM gear for a year at Udorn Thani Royal Thai AFB in Thailand. A few more passes and it was feeling like I was back on the flight line during the Christmas bombing campaign.
The light of day (yawn) day revealed a track of reflectors apparently running the length of the valley. Like breadcrumbs for the pilots out of Naval Air Weapons Station in China Lake.
There is something extraordinarily invigorating about early morning in the desert. I love the smell of the desert in the morning.

Anybody ever watch lost in space the TV show? This pic reminds me of that vechicle they had on the show traveling on some far off planet. As it turns that far off plant is also know as L.A.

Yes, and Yes.  Although breaking in your new engine on pothole laden dirt roads might be a little too ambitious. A Whidey Is run would be a worthy, but relatively safe break in trip, it's within AAA distance
