Another CRM shot.

[Olderndirt]

This CRM is just filling the gap. Some of the scenery is quite spectacular but it's mountains, rivers, lakes and lots of high plains. This shot, from Yellowstone Park just north of Jackson, Wyoming is familiar to many. Can't you just hear little Joey hollering, "Come back, Shane".

Yogi and the boys are to your right, further north. That view of the Tetons was the backdrop throughout the movie "Shane" - first saw it crossing the Atlantic in '53 - many times since.

SS United States. My cabin mates were two Frenchmen who boarded at LeHavre and a Chinese priest - quite a change for a fourteen year old from Scotland who'd never been more than forty miles from home.

Not that I know of. It was said to be in the forty knot range and I do know they ran a lot faster at night.
