Alvin and the chipmunks

A bit off topic...when I went out to LA this summer for work, my friend Thomas graciously accompanied me for the 3 day drive and a few side trips. One of the coolest parts of the drive was going from Denver to just outside of Las Vegas. The drive is mostly through the desert and mountainy-rocks of western Colorado, Utah, Arizona and Nevada. I was really impressed by the scenery in Utah. This surprised me, as I am not a very naturey person. Here are a few pictures I snapped not long after the day's journey began.


We made a roadside stop.


And discovered that we were not alone.

I'm not sure if this guy is a chipmunk, prarie dog, or something else.

That would be a prairie dog.

I should have known that the Kansas native would know...

I'm also available to answer any questions about Dorothy, Oz, wheat, sunflowers, or national championship basketball.

Do you know how I know you're lame, Thomas L. Amberg Jr.? Because you won't leave comments using your real name.
