Still, though, very nice. I actually ::gasped:: - grabbed my camera ..saying things like "oh my gawd"...and" wow, this is so beautiful".
It's very empowering to drive through the mountains sans, well, anyone else. Jumping right into the cliche of so many before me, the magella really is a time of personal transformation.
