I wasn't in a Funnel Web area at the time. More of a Bird Eating Spider (Tarantula family) area ...Well most anywhere in Australia is their territory...I do live in a Funnel web area though. Haven't been bit yet. :)

On my way to work this morning I thought about the view and this thread and grabbed my phone. It turned out a little fuzzy but that is a good representation of how I am that time of morning! I was stopped at a red light but as I snapped the picture you can see the other direction turned red. As I put the phone down I realized my light was green. Not long enough for the guy behind me to honk at those damn cell phone users. :)

I want to know what was in front of you now...:)

Yesterday was pretty busy. Sun came up with clouds hiding the show. Sundown was a different story entirely.

Found the old Newport school house. I think it's a church now.

Found an abandoned church.

Kept trying to find Bugscuffle. Went down some some pretty rough trails. It ain't there no more. Been gone 80 years or more.
Came back out on the black top just North of

That's the report for the day from Comanche and Kiowa country.
Nice stuff Wull....shame the church is abandoned...seems to nice to just forget it hmm.
They've built a fancy NEW one with but one story about a half mile closer to the main road.
Guess they thought the Good Lord needed a shiny new house.
Ain't got near the class, craftsmanship, nor the history of the old one. ;)
Wullie, I like your sunrise photos, as road photos. When I'm on an overnight road trip, it seems like night will never end. Seeing the sun finally come back up helping me stay awake is my favorite sight :)
This is from last weekend in western Oklahoma; a mini-mesa poking out of early morning fog

I forget the name of the brewery but it was in Mt. Pleasant. The brewery was overlooking a river and right next to a nice park. They also had two hefdeweizens on tap.Quote:

So this is one of my favorite spots on Skyline drive. Went up last night to try and get a shot in the storm but no dice.
