I was just doing maintenance on my website and realized I haven’t posted anything in forever. The winter is a hard time for me as it is harder work harder driving and less opportunity to take pictures and less motivation to write. I’ll try to catch you up. I have been driving all over the western us dodging storms and sometimes driving in horrible conditions. The last couple of months have been hectic. I took a fairly long time off over Christmas and then weather kept me out for a bit longer. Winter and the cold weather make it hard to get enthusiastic about taking pictures and writing. Most days the best I could manage is get up and work. I did manage to take a few pictures since I started back after the first of the year. They may seem a little random but I have been traveling around the west and snapping when I see something that catches my eye. I spent most of the last few weeks working in the southwest where I find more inspiration.
On my next trip out I spent most of my time in the desert southwest one of my favorite areas to travel in. I made a number of loads from copper mines to various plants that turn copper into products. I really like hauling copper it is easy to deal with and great people both at the shippers and receivers. The geology around mines is fantastic. The copper sheets I was carrying are called cathodes and they are created by electrolysis. The have an amazing texture and are really cool to look at.
