Clematis. Quite variable. Ours is deep purple.

I agree. The Opera House was caving in on itself and I didn’t have the heart to take a picture.

I didn’t look too closely at this one. It’s at the entrance to the city park which is quite nice and not at all vandalized. Small town USA!!!!

When we moved to Mojave, CA in 1956, there was a static display F86 saber on the playground. We climbed all over it. Within 15 years, it had been so severely vandalized by kids that it was eventually removed.

Took a minute…..hilarious!!!

Booze - pot - gambling = TAX REVENUE for Montana - this is a big source of income for the state - Montana has no sales tax which is great but all the states with no sales tax or no income tax find other ways to get their money - they always get their money some how and some way

My husband's father went to this school. It's so sad to see all of these abandoned buildings.

I had to show this picture to my husband. His grandmother ran the post office and he lived here for a short time when he was a kid.

Yeah. And rain again tomorrow. But now I am in a metal park picnic shelter and the sprinklers have come on beating the metal siding to death. And it’s hot. Why are they watering? It rains everyday.

who did u piss off in your previous life ??? It appears u r have been cursed w/snow/sleet/hail/rain/cold etc on this great adventure ... have u thought about finding a virgin goat and sacrificing it to appease Zeus !
AND that pic of your drying clothes is from your JMU days ...
Great to read that you took a day and spent it eating as you were looking a bit "lean" in some of your pics.

It was great meeting you guys also. I enjoyed our conversation. Thanks for responding here. I really appreciate it.
