in the USA.


"Airplane-food", was OK, when one is hungry like me.

"Well naow, theys talkin as if they have chewin gum in their mout over ere, across da big pond, that is." So I got to do the party right, by having a great 4th of July here, where it´s done best.

 Now I wish this is what they had on the plane. This is some real good stuff, dead cow and corn on the cob. Uhm, I mean a nice steak and some delicious corn with some savory wine and a good beer of course to wash it all down.

Prickly stuff, stittin on these bushes. If one wants to look far into the land, one has put up with some things, like sittin´ on a pincushion.

 What a view. Looks a tad bit like Mars, dosen´t it? Oh sorry, that´s another story to be told some other time.

These things are great to hold on to, while I am trying to figure out their proper use. Maybe theyre´ pea shooters?  Actually they are lookin´ guides, to find the ruins in the walls of the cliffs, in this valley, oh sorry, I meant canyon.

Climbing around the rocks for a better view and taking a rest.

 What a view!

Strange "park", what will this be, did someone play ball games here?

I don´t see any nets behind the goals, so I guess it´s not about ballgames.
Big stone "bridges" all over the place, build by some wacky engineer called "god" I think. There is a "Gods Garden" around here so it must be his, right?

 I wuz here, I swear, just forgot to take pictures of myself!

See, I got right on top of this pass.

There is some snow left, in the middle of summer.

Just to show you how high us bears can climb.

Busy tellin stories: "And then I suddenly ...."
(Hey, photography person, stop buggin´ me, I am just swapping stories with some new pals.)

Wow, I haven´t met these guys until today. These elfs, no I think they are elks, have fun stories to tell, about the visitors who come to this park.  

I told you this is "bear country" ! 



 Here you see me ...

 enjoying another ...

great view.

From something I call ... 

 the "sitting rock" as it was very comfortable here.

 
Taking a break after a car-hike.


On my seat on the way home.

I am missing the steaks already!
