Cross Country By Car<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I’m trying to catch up organizing photos from last fall’s travels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I was driving westward<\/strong> from Michigan to Nevada I snapped a bunch of scenes that illustrate the different industries from the intervening states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some photos from my car journey to Reno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m an admirer of the great landscapes of our country. As I traveled west from my home, it was clear to me that amazing industries which determine the way of life in these other states differs drastically from what I’ve been used to in Michigan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
