 At great effort and cost, Phil was able to get this much appreciated series of photos as well as many others from Colorado and other places. After having made one Round-the-West tour in 2003, he discovered that a jar to his camera had rendered all of his photographs blurry and out-of-focus. Discouraged but determined, he set out again and retraced the exhaustive pilgrimage, re-documenting and seeking out remains unknown!
