Thanks! Traded in my little Nissan sedan (good car but low clearance) for a Toyota Tacoma 4x4 utility cab pickup. It has high clearance which seems generally more important than the 4x4 feature - but recently that saved me having to hike an extra 5 mi along a road to see Stuart Falls, so I guess it's worth it.

What a gorgeous place. Thank you for sharing. That creek crossing must have been mighty chilly.

Wow, classically beautiful shots. Frosty desert and snowy tipped mountains are the best. Happy anniversary!
