A brief stop at the rest area/pullout in this area for a bathroom break while driving to Watson Lake on November 1, 2015.
This was an awesome day. We left Egilsstadir early for the drive to Myvatn. We passed a number of waterfalls (with no pullouts or names) until we came to Rjukandafoss - a beautiful waterfall with several sections. When hiked as the trail and had some great views. Nice start to the day. Back on the road to cover what is known as the Big Sky Country of Iceland - pretty much a lot of nothing. We were headed for Dettifoss - a major waterfall on my Bucket List. It exceeded expectations. Absolutely stunning visually and auditory - it is massive. I tried some long exposure with a tripod but it felt like the ground was shaking. Heather let me check out another waterfall about a mile away - Selfoss. If Dettifoss wasn't around, this would be a major destination by itself. Very different than Dettifoss but awesome on its own. I stayed for a bit and just ogled everything. Simply wow. I returned to the car and Heather dragged me off to another trail with very cool canyon views. We heard there was a third waterfall very close by so naturally we went. It was amazing. There were about 2-3 other people at Hafragilsfoss. Good God Almighty - this waterfall was spectacular - and the guidebook said this was difficult to reach with a 4x4 and best skipped. I'm glad we ignored this (the road was actually a piece of cake). Side note - the area around here looked like Martian landscape. We were in Heaven! We reluctantly headed to Myvatn - the Icelandic equivalent of Yellowstone. It was nice but we must be jaded since we live so close to Yellowstone. All in all, a very nice day, and I definitely want to go back to Dettifoss and the other falls.
I took these photos in mid-September 2021.

I made this tray for my Wacom tablet because I was tired of moving the keyboard out of the way to draw. Also, having it on a slope is much more useful. When I'm finished, I just slide it back under the desk.

Millennia ago falconers discovered hooding keeps raptors calm
As I headed east through the area known as “Yellowstone Picnic” into Little America I came across a small crowd at a pullout with spotting scopes set up and cameras with long lenses pointed towards a spot far off the road to the north. I pulled over and looked through my binoculars. What should I see but a man with a fox dancing around his feet. My first through was, “What kind of idiot is that, going way out there and feeding a fox?!?!” Someone pulled up next to me and explained that the he was out there as part of a golden eagle research team. I still wasn’t able to put it together, but then he began skiing back to the road. As he neared it became clear that he had something large under his arm.
It turns out that there was a deer carcass (a winter kill – it’s not unusual for animals to drop dead from exposure and starvation in Yellowstone’s mean winters – or a wolf, mountain lion, or even coyote kill if the deer was sufficiently weak) attracting all the usual visitors. Golden (and bald) eagles are opportunistic carrion-eaters, so the researchers knew a goldie would show up sooner or later. The fox was just trying to defend its wonderful meal from that human who might be trying to steal it! Photo taken at an extreme distance in relation to my lens’s capabilities, but you can make out the fox and the net trap as well as the researcher. I believe the dark brown blob on the ground is the eagle.
My friends had seen two men skiing into that area before sunup (and had also concluded the men must be mad to be skiing in the cold, dark, pre-dawn). Apparently it was the two researchers going out to lay a bow-type net trap and finally, by 9 A.M., acquired their target when it came to feed.
The researcher brought the hooded eagle (a technique falconers have used for millennia that functions to keep the birds calm), with its dagger talons safely immobilized in an Ace bandage, and wrapped in a towel for warmth, back to the roadside. His colleague and project leader, Dave Haines, gave the small gathering a few minutes to photograph the bird before he and his colleague took it to a ranger station for banding, tagging, weighing and measuring, and overall examination and evaluation. It would be released when data collection was complete.
These ravens work the pullouts in pairs, approaching cars, looking into the windows, and "asking" for food. They are extremely endearing, but it's illegal to feed wildlife in Yellowstone. This one is sulking, precisely because I didn't give hi food!

Paving of Tuck Inlet Road will ensure safe and reliable access to the residents of Lax Kw'alaams and visitors to their community.
Lax Kw'alaams is accessed via ferry from Prince Rupert, which docks at Tuck Inlet. The current gravel road connecting the ferry dock with the village was last upgraded in 2006. Prince Rupert-based Adventure Paving will pave the existing gravel surface, replace one bridge and make safety improvements – such as concrete barriers, speed reader boards and pullouts – along the 17.5-kilometre road. Wind/solar powered lighting for the ferry dock will also be installed.
When complete, the resurfaced road will increase safety and accessibility for residents, businesses and tourists. Work on the road is expected to finish on Sept. 30, 2016, and realignment and bridge work is expected to be finished at the end of October, 2016.

During the busy spring season, as well as holidays and nice weekends, the park has so many visitors that parking lots and even pullouts fill up. Parking spots are very difficult to find. We recommend taking the Roadrunner Shuttle Bus into the park.

I was driving through Puyallup when I saw this marker alongside the road. No signs advertised it. There wasn't a formal pullout near it. I turned around to see what it was.
The marker was placed in 1925, approximately 65 years after the events it describes. The events are recalled from a settler point of view, as are most events on Washington State historical markers. Perhaps tribal memories will be shared as they become more economically powerful. Regardless, it is nice to be reminded of the past.

This combination of uniform items is not authorized by the Corps of Cadets. The Class "A" Dress uniform usually requires the combination cover (hat w/ visor + chinstrap). Also, unlike the US Army, the bider (overseas cap) would normally not be worn with this Dress uniform either. The campaign hat is normally reserved for "Midnights" and Summer "A's" or "B's" or Winter "A's" or "B's". I just wanted to see what this combo looked like. (answer: makes me look like a US Park Ranger)
