I believe the title may not make sense. Good.
A few of these shots in this update were taken on the way to Pahrump, Nevada, the first time Bob Hope was reported as having passed away–and I believe (if my camera was correct) that was June 28, 2003. But Bob wasn’t dead. At least that’s what he said. It seems some over-exuberant television reporter may have put the information out without checking facts.
The wilderness areas section is being brought up to speed on the pages with photos- The major change, however, is the base map, which was fairly crude. Now it is all kind of snazzy. 😉 Also, both the alphabetical and numerical index pages have this new interactive map embedded. The individual wilderness area updates are mostly just enlarging the photos and doing a little clean up. A list of the updated pages follows:

A couple of years later, in 2005, I had bought a 13 foot, leaking, aluminum fishing boat. My friend Cliff, who owned a canoe and kayak rental at the Topock marina, was going to sell me his Grandfather’s 5 horsepower outboard motor. So what I did was photograph a few of the wilderness areas along the I-40 freeway on my way out to pick it up.
I’ve heard it said that the two most memorable days in a boat owner’s mind are the day you buy your boat, and the day you sell it. Certainly, I remember the day I sold it–but I can’t recall the day I bought it. Wait … Now I can. Anyway, I remember the day I bought that motor. That was a lot of fun. I’ll tell you about the day I got the boat in some other update.
