Vore Buffalo Jump is an archeological site in Crook County, Wyoming. A sinkhole, formed where gypsum soil was eroded, leaving a steep-sided pit about 40 feet (12 m) deep and 200 feet (61 m) in diameter. Native American hunters could stampede bison in the direction of the pit, which was deep enough to kill or disable the animals that were driven into it. The location is one of a number of buffalo jump sites in the north central United States and southern Canada. The Vore site was used as a kill site and butchering site from about 1500 AD to about 1800 AD. Archeological investigations in the 1970s uncovered bones and projectile points to a depth of 15 feet (4.6 m). About ten tons of bones were removed from the site. About five percent of the site has been excavated, and the pit is estimated to contain the remains of 20,000 buffalo
The road to White Pocket is not on any maps (that I've seen), but I swear it's a real place. The rock seems to melt off of towering forms, while painted the colors of the rainbow. Simply amazing!

Pergola running through what used to be ornate gardens...this was originally constructed in the mid-1920's...although I'm sure it's been upgraded since...
I've fallen in love with another historic place...hopefully it stands a chance and will be fixed up...

Taken during Denmark's largest Tulip festival, held at the Gavnø Palace/Castle in Southern Sjaelland about an hour south of Copenhagen. The castle grounds are open seasonally as a small park that also boasts an impressive art collection and is worth a visit if you're in the area and eager to see something different.
Ethan is overlooking the power station on the other side of the river. The perspective is a bit deceiving. The power house building canappear to be about the size of office desk.

An old highway in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, long since abandoned and replaced by nearby I-84.
Overnight camp out in Chiselbury Camp, an Iron Age hill fort on the top of Fovant Down, famous for it's Great War camp badges carved in the chalk of its slopes. A 40+ mile ride from home in Southampton, up to Salisbury via Romsey and the National Cycle Network Route 24, then to Salisbury Racecourse where I picked up the old cattle drove that goes all the way to Shaftesbury.
Dusk falling meant I overshot my destination in the poor light! I rode another mile or two to Ansty before realising my mistake, and had to backtrack, so by the time I reached the old fort I had missed the sunset there and it was properly dark.
The sunrise made up for that though. Up at 5.30 and a short walk to the chalk cap badges while I brewed up some tea.
Back on the road shortly after, keen to get back before the midday heat.

A spring roadtrip exploring the Burnt River Canyon in Baker County
A beautiful day exploring the Burnt River Canyon between Durkee and Unity in Baker County Oregon .
The Burnt River Canyon near Durkee is always one of our favorite drives for taking in the majestic scenery of Eastern Oregon and watching wildlife along the way. Saw lots of wildlife this trip as colder temperatures have pushed lots of deer down into the canyon. We were excited to spot a few Bighorn Sheep this trip and a napping Barn Owl

Adventure touring on the island of Dominica. It's best to pre-book these excursions well in advance of the cruise. We were a party of six and our tour guide took us off the beaten path where we didn't have to contend with 6,000 other tourists from the ship. Here's a link to this great guide
