Gone (Red Country)

Apologies for the blog silence! I've been trying to finish up my paper for Small Society's Annual Meeting. And then I spent five days in Red Country. And I still need to start packing for the return to Hometown.

Red Country was OK.

I didn't love it in the way that I loved visiting North Country. But I'm not sorry that I went.

There were ruins to see, trails to hike, and mountains to climb (literally). The people were friendly (I had tea with some of them in a tent) and the hotels were comfortable (all of them had pools). And we spent so much time outdoors that I have acquired a very obvious farmer's tan.

But I was wrong about one thing: I did take 900+ photos of rocks.

In my own defence (and, oh, how I need one!), the rocks are directly related to my research.

And some of the rocks are simply in my pics 'cause we were in Rock City.

But, yes, 900+ does seem to be a bit excessive...
