Well make me an idiot Ann! It didn't even occur to me. I can't believe it.
Shoot shoot shoot!
Sorry about your picture. I'm sure it was good. Sometime within the last
year (I think) OP columnist Dewitt Jones had a column with a picture from
Dead Horse point at sunset. It was instantly recognizable. Hard not to
walk away with a good shot.
Isn't it neat how some of the best places are "off the radar"?
We're thinking about going there again this summer. Now watch... all the
campsites'll be taken up by PDMLers.
