Storms moving in as we approached Palo Duro state park near Amarillo. Said to be the second largest canyon in US. Beautiful!

We passed Bear Lake (on the Idaho/Utah border) on the way from Grand Teton to Salt Lake City. Probably the bluest lake I've ever seen.

You cannot see them real clearly, but the pic is of a windfarm in
western Texas. For probably 60 miles around Abilene, this was the
most common site. Confirms what I've heard about Texas being the
biggest producer of wind energy in the U.S. I'd love to hear Dad's
comments, since he headed up (founded?) GE's wind energy division back
in the 70s. I understand that they are a big player in this area now.
