This Land Is Your Land


As I was walking that ribbon of highway,
I saw above me that endless skyway:
I saw below me that golden valley:
This land was made for you and me.
I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
And all around me a voice was sounding:
This land was made for you and me.

Hangin' With a Friend

Jeremy Wade Shockley, staff photographer for the Southern Ute Drum takes a day off. He says I have to see Mesa Verde National Park. Who am I to argue?

Good to the last drop.
