More Death Valley in the Spring

There is both harsh mountains and lots of green with the extreme temperature. As the sun shifts, so do the colors and shadows of the mountains. It has never looked the same twice.

Death Valley in the Spring 2010

If the rains are just right, Death Valley becomes a garden of flowers. To ride a motorcycle at 105 degrees heat is the best way to experience this. At over 500 ft below sea level the valley floor becomes a white dry lake bed.

Minesota Winter 2009

When its cold like winter in Minnesota, you just have to visit family. Brian, Bert and Francis (Grand Parents) are having a visit. Tracy and Rick (Rennae's sister) are at home and staying warm. A beard always helps to keep out the cold.

Glenwood, Minnesota 2009

Only in Minnesota do you spend your winters on a frozen lake in an ice house fishing. We are hundreds of yards from shore on the middle of a snow covered lake in a little house. Its fun to play football as a way to get exercise. You watch your line in a chopped hole for a fish.

Brian and Rainer took turns to get this job done.
