The above comment is what blogfriend Vivacious Vegan saw in the photograph. Thanks V. V. , I couldn't have said it any better!
I wouldn't give that character a lift, road or no road :o) Amazing photos, excellent. I shall probably never get to see those places, so thank you for the armchair travel.
I think we're headed to the same place Jim . . . if you see an old, black pickup kickin' up dust, jump on in - there'll be a cold beer or two inside ready to quench that parched, desert-hitchin' thirst of ours!

thanks for sharing the road with us Jim, your eye and your heart are national treasures. I am so glad to share a piece of paradise ( BB) with you and Peggy.
Location: of Jim and Peg's Habitat Home, High In The Mountains Of Southern California
We are a car-free retired couple living in a small 950 sq ft mountain cabin on less than 1/4 acre at 6,750 ft elevation. The native plant habitat we established on the property now exceeds 100 species and we grow organic vegetables on a small portion of the yard. In our continuing efforts toward simple, sustainable and rewarding lives we bid our last car "Good Riddance" in January of 1997.
Earth Home Garden represents what we love in life; our bountiful planet EARTH and all her natural diversity; our cozy little cabin HOME and the family it has sheltered for 29 years; and the GARDEN around us which nurtures so many native creatures and helps feed us as well.
It's our PLACE TO BE...........

You have very good judgement, never associate with a character who looks like that, it could ruin your life, just ask aneglakya! ;~)

Your buddy, Jim
