Location: Boise, Idaho | I guess I should enjoy my 40 or 50 mile view from my office window. If I turn north, however, the view is blocked by this darn mountain. I don't really call it a mountain, though, because it's only 7500 feet. I can't wait until it's softened and eroded so that I can see further. |

Hmmmmm....so my rock is younger than your rock. Interesting theory.
I would be more inclined to believe that there is a larger buildup of fecal matter in the area of the Appalachian chain which results in the softening and erosian. |

A nearby hike on a clear morning up Mt. Ellinor would provide a view of Mt. Baker, Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Hood. How many active volcanoes do you guys got?
Got Lahar?

I think a more appropriate question would be "why would we want any active volcanoes"! |

The airplane ride back from BDF from the Tour was cool. I had a window seat and watched the landscape below make it's changes.
Speaking of Gold plated wonders...
...that is a great deck scene you got going there Bill! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Beautiful picture. Send it to Slipkid for the calendar. I probably won't get around to taking my pictures, now, since my ideas for artsy photos weren't nearly as good. I actually thought about taking one with a mountain lake in the background, but I hadn't decided which guitars to use and didn't want to haul the whole bunch up there. |
