Back into the Southwest

In San Bernardino, in the hotel you might remember from the origins of this here blog. Tomorrow I board a bus for 2 days to Tulsa, Oklahoma to begin orientation for my new job. Here are some pics from the past couple days coming back into the southwest.
North of Moab, Utah











Chimney Rock near Cortez, Colorado










Shiprock, Northwestern, New Mexico










San Andres Mountains near Las Cruces, New Mexico








Wind Farm near Palm Springs (here is where the cool ocean climate meets the hot desert climate through a tight window called Tehachapi Pass creating, as you might expect, heavy constant wind.)





It's amazing what a little rain will do for Southern California
