a few more recent photos....

Unlike my earlier road trip posts, I linked these photos to (hopefully) smaller file size versions rather than the originals posted on Smugmug. The gallery of full sized photos is at https://mcamann.smugmug.com/Misc-photos/ if you want to see them at higher resolution or just look at more pics. I still have a bunch more to load when I can find the time to process them.

This is Jeffri. Yup, she was originally a Jeffrey, and the name took even though her presumed gender didn't.
