When the sky became night in the middle of the day,  an orange glow of twilight in all directions and even the insects stopped to take notice.  The eclipse, as we witnessed it in Nebraska was awesome. 

Stepping back in time to the ancient cliff dwellings of Southern Colorado was spectacular.  Even the antique steam engine that blew a seal ending our Durango-to-Silverton train ride just outside of town resulted in a fun field trip to collect rhodanite.

What was the purpose?  Graffiti, worship, record keeping?  The plethora of petroglyphs was stimulating as we stood where these ancient artists worked the images into the stone.

We do not plan to travel in 2018 as much as we did in 2017, but are looking forward to more adventures.  May your 2018 be blessed!
