High Mountain Doings

From 8200 feet along one side of the Upper Arkansas River Valley in central Colorado, my blog is about many things: travel including river and bicycle trips, and other experiences as well. The focus is on photography, not lots of text.

Franklin Roosevelt's Home, Hyde Park

This is FDR's house, where he liked to go while president. Eleanor Roosevelt would go there with him, but if he were not there, she would go to her own house nearby. This was to escape her rather troublesome mother-in-law.

This was President Roosevelt's desk, kept much as he had it arranged at the White House.

I'm a writer, photographer, and an independent publisher. I've mostly done river guidebooks, but also wrote and photographed Vietnam in the Absence of War about that country and about bicycling there. I'll be working on a book of photographs across the whole United States along or near Highway 50, and another about the building of a motorglider that's now in progress. I encourage comments on this blog. It's the only way I can tell whether anybody's been here.
