Zion National Park, Utah, closer to the top 2021-05-13 - Zion National Park, Utah - Photo By Robert Ellis, Robert Ellis Woodworking. Robert writes, "My only complaint is we didn't spend enough time here, basically a fast, whirlwind tour of one small area, barely scratching the surface. You have to obtain (nearly impossible during peak season) tickets to ride the shuttle buses through the main canyon, so we drove another route to the top of the mountains. This pic is a view from that area." Paired photo: Zion National Park, Utah Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Once upon a time... Gas rationing 2021-05-12 - Columbia, KY - Photo courtesy Mike Watson. Mike writes, "Many of us think we need to be on the road far more than we actually do. Of course many drive long distances to work, or as part of their job. But there was a time when gas was in far more short supply than now, as this article indicates, from the Adair County News, 22 March 1944, at the height of our involvement in World War II."
