The wide open, undeveloped vistas of the Western United States is extremely important to our nation's heritage. I believe strongly that we should keep as much of this area set aside and left in a semi developed state.

The greatest danger of the west is suburban sprawl. Sadly, a large number of people in the Real Estate Industry have developed a profitable boom and bust formula for turning farm land and open spaces into sprawling developments.

We must find ways to resist this economic trend. In my opinion the best course of action involves promoting development in existing cultural centers (see Community Color), promoting the protection of wilderness and promoting those industries that leave open undeveloped lands such as logging, ranching, tourism and farming.

This web site includes pictures of Mountain Wests. My goal is to provide an accurate reflection of what is in our communities and surrounding open areas. The gallery includes a large number of flower pictures, landscapes with mountains and desert along with pictures of trails and campgrounds.
