Here There be Dragons, Part II: "Hooray for Bali-Wood"

Our next stop was Bali.  Bali was much more touristy, until we took to the road to find this mountain hot spring.  A local woman stopped us in the middle of the road and insisted on performing a Hindu ritual for good luck.  I guess it worked.

Plants and Birds and Rocks and Things

It sounds strange, but canyon country has some of the most vibrant and diverse plantlife I've seen.  If you care to, you can see more at the digital herbarium.

Tree Rock

This tree has been a tourist attraction since the Union Pacific Railroad was routed around it in 1867. It now stands on the median of I-80, making me wonder how many lives it has claimed over the years. As you can see, it was quite windy.
