Trona Pinnacles

that surface just looks like cauliflower to me. anyways, we're having multiple systems of torrential downpours, flooding and wind gusts here in the Pacific Northwest. so here's a photo of me standing on tufa in the sunny, hot desert from last month.

how terrible would it be for me to be researching vacation lodging? ...one month after coming home from vacation. time flies when you're having fun is a cliche expression for a reason. we blinked and our trip was over. not to mention we've gone to this area three years in a row and STILL feel there are so many places we want to visit. (I can't help California being a flippin' giant state.) typically we're campers, but there are just so many great unique places to stay.

so here's a note to self for our next trip (date TBD) with potential lodging ideas. by potential, I mean I kinda have to stay at all of these places at some point.

you do know I could go on and on about this right? maybe not yet.
