The desert in the southern part of Joshua Tree National Park, taken from an exhibit pullout on Pinto Basin Road.
Scenes like these are a dime a dozen in Big Sur, but I never tired of them. Each time I was filled with awe at the beauty before me and felt so lucky to be soaking in the energy of such a special place.
Left pullout with two plastic trash cans for recycling. The back black one is for glass. The front white one is for other recycling (we can combine paper, metal and plastic).

A video I shot of the crazy one-lane road to Kahakuloa, Maui. Note the 'pullouts' on either side of the road as you watch the video. There was some great scenery along the drive, but we missed a lot of it paying attention to the road.
The banana bread was good, but I dont know if it was good enough to endure this drive ever again.

July 5, 2013 The trail was just past where the vans are...on the right side of the road. It's marked with a cairn.
Gosh, look at this weather! My mom and I picked an EXCELLENT time to drive from Skagway to Whitehorse. May 21, 2016.
This is looking west from a pullout along US 50, where I stopped to photograph the setting sun just west of Delta, Utah.
I'm jumping the gun with this and posting a trip picture way out of order, about three or four weeks (at least) earlier than it would otherwise appear. This is mostly because this is the only picture from the unposted portion of trip I can think of that might qualify for my "Best of 2022" album and that "Year's Best" contest Flickr runs, and I wanted to go ahead and post it for consideration. So now you know where we're headed after Carson City. So, SPOILERS, I guess.

Roadside pullout at Mile 48 Seward Highway. Trail to the cabin begins right where the cars are parked.
The Alaska Huts Association is refurbishing the old Manitoba mining cabin. Back in the '70 & '80s the Nordic Ski Club used to use the cabin as a base hut when skiing Manitoba Mountain. It's been in disrepair and locked up for over 20 years. We're bringing the cabin back to life as a mountain and ski hut, plus adding two 16' yurts for sleeping accommodations.
Near Sitgreaves Pass, there's a little pullout and an unmarked trail on the south side of the road, just a few stone "steps" going up the side of the cliff. It leads to what's called Shaffer Fish Bowl. Story is some oldtime miner or desert rat fashioned this "bowl" to capture a natural spring, and put goldfish in it. I tried to see if there were any fish but the Current Spouse said if I fell in, he wouldn't pull me out so...
Portrait of a man taken at a beach in the Big Sur area of California. Beach accessed from public pullout off of Highway 1. Low tide exposed small tidal pools amongst the rocky shore. Bright blue waves hit the rocks, and a early morning grey sky filled the horizon.

After sitting idling for most of the morning the first crew in the yard pulled out to block the north track and close Lancaster a few minutes before the VIA went through on the south track making sure no pedestrians could sneak through (after 2 were hit a few weeks ago).
Looking northward at Goose Lake towards Oregon at a pullout alongside US Highway 395 just south of New Pine Creek. JUne 1973. Scanned from a Kodachrome slide.
A monk keeps quarters at Chele La. Here you see him talking with a tourist, his guide and car off to the right.
Interestingly, to me anyway, are the various altitudes given for the pass summit. The sign here states it is 3988m (13,084 feet), one map I have shows it at 3780m (12,400 feet), and a book states it is 3810m (12,500 feet). Your guess is as good as mine...
By the way, another sign advertises a "Hotel" here. In reality, you would be very hard pressed to find lodging at the vast majority of hotels in Bhutan. Hotel seems to be the Bhutanese word for "restaurant"! Many of them "...cum Bar."
Packing and storing stuff so the floor dudes can rip up the old carpet!
Later that night I brought Lloyd and Ethan (8) down to show them the area, and said to Lloyd, "It's impossible to use the bathroom." We moved on to another area, and could hear the sound of tinkling...then E joins us and proudly announces, "I just achieved the impossible!" uh, dude... close the door next time!
I saw a rare pullout on the side of the road. So I whipped the car over after driving 30 minutes in rain when the sun came out and there was a place for me to take a photo of the town.

Misapplied as Salsola kali in Hawaii.
We stopped at a pullout on our way out of the Yosemite Valley so that I could get a rare photo of the open meadow. History books say the entire valley used to be meadow, that the Ahwahnechee people who lived in the valley until the tourists kicked them out frequently burned the valley floor to keep the landscape open and maintain a population of oak. That stopped when the tourists came, and for much of the last century the valley floor has been conifer forest.
There is a sign just behind where I was standing that marks this as the place where, in May of 1903, John Muir and President Theodore Roosevelt camped together and talked about the wilderness. The wide meadows of the Ahwahneechee would still have spread out before them, offering views of the granite walls that wrapped around them as they talked. A lot happened because of that night. That conversation led to most of the conservation and preservation we enjoy today. Most national parks and national forests exist solely because of what that conversation started.
Which only emphasizes the irony of Yosemite and the dilemma it embodies. Muir and Roosevelt would never recognize this valley now full of trees and covered with pavement, roads and sidewalks and parking lots. They built their Gatlinburg or their Bar Harbor inside the valley, and people pile on and shove themselves into the lodges and visitor centers. They spread out through the woods and turn the forest floor to tent city, so that parts of the valley resemble a camp at a NASCAR race or a music festival more than anything wild. The wildness Muir shared with Roosevelt has been driven from Yosemite. The valley has been protected to death.
And this leads to a dilemma. How do you change that? What stops it? As I ponder this, I am reminded of a book I read some years back written by a man who in his youth had migrated to Alaska. He'd found some perfect piece of wild land so beautiful he just had to be a part of it, so he carved out some piece of it for himself and made it his home. And then he spent the next 30 years condemning those who followed him. These were people who shared his exact experience, who felt Alaska's draw just as much as he did and reacted in the exact same way, and who deserved no more condemnation than the author did himself. I can't pretend I was not among the mass of tourists who flooded into the valley on this particular day, and I can't pretend that others didn't complain as much about my existence as I complained about theirs. But I can make a decision not to be a part of it again. Yosemite is a beautiful place sadly inundated beneath a rising tide of humanity, and I think I've seen it for the last time.

I think this Ford Fiesta was named 'Pepita' - one of a fleet of cars owned by the Osservatorio Geologico di Coldigioco that manager Sandro Montanari generously allowed me to borrow for a week of fieldwork on Elba. Standard shift, good thing I had some experience with that the previous summer, working for the US Forest Service in Idaho. Scanned slide.
91 is the first pullout car. The motorman has just received the amber diverge signal and will now pull off the main line. August 21, 2015. © 2015 Peter Ehrlich
