In a previous post, I spoke of hiking the superstitions. Those pics are now on flickr in a set. I will be posting some highlights here and in another post.

These highlights are of horizons and landscapes. Think of them as establishing the environment, so you can see what surrounded me during the hike. The next post will be of key things worth noticing.

Highlights from my hike in the Superstitions. Some of these look more interesting large. To see this, click on the image, then the "all sizes" icon. (By the way, I have an icon now)

Be glad you're not in Iowa right now. If you are in Iowa right now, I suggest heading south.

THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE IS TRANSMITTED AT THE REQUEST OF THE OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR AND IOWA HOMELAND SECURITY AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.

As a result of the recent winter storm, 60 counties have been declared disaster areas. An estimated 100,000 Iowa homes remain without power. We strongly urge anyone without power to seek shelter immediately! Dial 9-1-1 to find the shelter nearest you.

Two more rounds of severe winter storms will hit parts of Iowa starting early Wednesday continuing through Friday. As a result, it may be days or weeks before all power is restored. If you are still without power, we strongly urge you to seek shelter immediately. Again, dial 9-1-1 to get shelter and transportation assistance.
