What a great feeling. I arrived home from vacation and discovered in the mail a package from Backpacker magazine. I get the magazine courtesy of Sierra Trading Post. It kind of bothers me that I am such a good customer that I get these things. But, I do find I enjoy the magazine. They have a monthly feature called Eye in the Sky, where they publish a photo of a place taken from space, and give some clues to help the reader figure out where the photo was taken. It’s a contest, and a few months ago I spent a little time figuring out where the fascinating looking photo was taken and submitted my entry. I, along with I am sure many other people with correct entries, were lucky enough to be randomly chosen to receive a lightweight plastic (BPA free plastic, I might add!) water bottle. I was delighted. The featured site was Gooseneck State Park in Southern Utah.
Winning the water bottle was fun. But now I’ve found one more place I want to visit. Add it to all the National Parks I drooled over in the Ken Burns shows last week, and I’ll be traveling the rest of my life.
Here’s the photo for the November contest. Any guesses?

Ayers Rock- Australia.
