Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

Those pictures are all so beautiful and make me so glad I live in the PNW.  I just hope and pray that the Cascadia subduction zone predicted earthquake will not happen.  The news media are running so many shows and articles about it.  I even think about it now when we take the motorhome to the beach.  I rest so much easier when we take it to Bend and the High desert.

The scenic beauty here is so spectacular.

Once read that the things that cause earth quakes and volcanoes are what made the pacific Cost rich.   With out the mountains it would  all be a wind swept desert.

Beautiful too!  Those high mountain lakes are hard work getting too, and you have to be there at the right times to get such shots.

Gorgeous.  If I had never visited the area, I'd swear those pics were not real.

Has anyone visited the Hoh rain forest?  It's a natural wonder of the world.

No I didn't see it. Very nice, I sure missed that, we didn't have a colorful sunset West of there.
I have some sunset in my photo file, but I can never get them to look that good.

I looked again and that  would have to be sunrise.

One of the most incredible things I have seen is sunrise on Mount Haleakala on Maui.  It was worth getting up at 2 am to get up there.  Somewhere in all of my dozens of photo albums I took some really good pictures of that a few years ago.

The sunsets taken here in these pics are incredible too.

Mount Haleakala.  The coldest I have been since 1959 in Korea.
Shorts and thongs with only a sweat shirt.  Anything liquid was frozen solid up there. 
But yes it was one of the best sun rises I ever saw.

I was on Mt. Cadillac in Maine to watch the sun rise.  It was summer and quite cold up high.  I'm sure that you feel the same as I: it was worth it, but let's not linger and just get out of here now.

I took sunset in Lincoln City, Oregon last October and it was pretty nice then, not chilly, but yes Don it was cold up at Mt. Haleakala and we stopped halfway down on the way back at a very nice little restaurant and had a good hot breakfast with lots of coffee to warm us up.

We stopped at a nice resort half way down too.  I don't remember the place Just another Hale.  But they had a big fire place.  Felt good but rather strange setting there warming my hands and nose, wearing shorts things and a Hawaii shirt.

Any high elevation will be cold at night.  My kids and I used to camp at around 7,500 feet in California, they liked to sleep out and watch the sky at night.  I often woke up with frost on the grass around our sleeping bags.  But it would get warm or even hot during the day.
I've run to get the car in August snow storms at South Lake Tahoe.
Once had to chain up to get home from a swim meet at UN Reno.
