On my next three pages you'll find a few photographs of artifacts and a few natural features I've found while exploring the
Colorado River and deserts surrounding Blythe and the Palo Verde Valley. Those explorations continue, but perhaps with less
frequency since I've attained senior citizenship. I plan on adding to these pages often, so please return for a fresh look
frequently. The site navigator is at the upper right of this page.
