time to begin another gallery for photos from locations south of the 49th parallel...the United States is an endlessly attractive country...the most recent posts are at the end

the first trip was during January 2018, with adventures in Arizona and Utah...a treasured pair of pbase pals, Marcia and Dan, greatly enriched the experience

the second trip, during June 2018, was to Manitoba in central Canada, and North Dakota in the US Midwest...the Manitoba pix are in the 'expeditions' gallery, while the ND photos appear here...impetus for the adventure was an invitation from good pal Glenn Dean...we visited many intriguing locations

a third trip to the USA, specifically Oregon, was undertaken in September 2018, in the always energizing and motivating company of Marcia Rules

a fourth trip during February 2019 was once again made with Marcia, involved a rendezvous with Dan and Sam, and a fortuitous meeting with John Vass...the main focus was north-western New Mexico, yet the adventures began and ended in Arizona, with much meandering along the way

a fifth excursion, to Washington state, took place in mid-September 2019, with Marcia and Neil...plus, Nirvan met up with us for the tours around Mt Rainier

a sixth trip was undertaken in early June 2022, to the North Coast of Oregon and southwest Washington, in the sparkling company of Dan Greenberg and Marcia Rules

a seventh adventure,in June 2023, involved a trip to the Great Plains region of the USA, visiting Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wyoming, once again with Marcia and Dan
