OK, for months the humans in this group have had their chance to show off with all their artsy pictures, and fanciful stories. Now it’s MY turn. Allow me to introduce myself. I am the mover and shaker in this outfit. You see, my name is Adam, and I’m the truck. They may think they’re the brains, but I am the muscle.
Most of the time, I get no respect. Even my name was an afterthought. You see, they bought this beautiful trailer and immediately named here “Belle,” the “Beauty” part of “Beauty and the Beast.” Since I was the second half of this combined purchase, they simply named me “the Beast.” Then they found out that the Prince-turned-into-Beast-and-back-again” was really Prince Adam in the story. So, they named me after him.
You will notice that in the 50 or so blog posts that have gone up here, I am hardly ever seen. Indeed, I haul this outfit thousands of miles all over the country and many people have hardly ever seen me.
But today, finally, they agreed to let me post MY pictures on this blog. These are all the shots that always ended up on the cutting room floor after editing. I guess I don’t have the winning smile, and it’s tough to compete with some of the scenery we have seen — most of which I hauled them to see.
So here are my top ten from our first ten months on the road.
This is my normal pose. In about 90% of the parks we enter, I am the biggest, baddest truck in the campground. And I like it that way. 
But I can pose with the best of them. I think Ford should use this Teton shot in a commercial, don’t you? 
Not my best side. But this little road in Utah turned back lesser vehicles. 
Chimney Rock in Kodachrome State Park is one BIG rock, which made for some nice shade. 
The rocks in Arches were nice. 
We did all the Utah Parks in 5 days. It was fun. 
I considered taking the monument home, but the national parks folks at Shiloh Battlefield probably would’t approve. 
Mounument Valley road was a challenge, but I was up to it. 
Here I am, John Ford, ready for a movie. Pick me! 
OK, up to a vote everyone. Should I get more pictures?
What a hoot.. I like Adam..
