Thanks for posting all those pictures. Just seeing them brings back a lot of memories. I have been to many of those places. The earlier picture on the interstate in Montana, I think I even remember and know that exact stretch of road just from memory (just before Bozeman heading west on I-90, right??). I see you did in fact get a clear day when you were near Mt. Rainier as well.

As a meteorologist, I particularly like that picture in post #62, of the sunset being split by the towering cumulus. That is an amazing picture. I get a magazine called Weather Wise that has an annual photo contest. There is also a local TV station (WISC-TV3) here in southern Wisconsin whose weather department does a calender every year with pictures submitted from the public. I think you should submit that picture and see what happens. I can send you more info if that interests you.
