I could be wrong, but this looks like Virginia. Could it be the Potomac? I think we might need another clue!

Clue: Midwest. My favorite part of the Midwest.
Definitely not the Potomac. That's a lot wider where I've seen/crossed it.
Mark, close, and in the Midwest. But not close enough.

Given all the boathouses in the back, some part of Lake of the Ozarks?
Yes, NowthatIamretired, you are CORRECT! It's actually the Osage River, just downstream from the Lake. I was up at Ha Ha Tonka State Park when I took that photo, on one of the trails along the bluffs.

As long as we're on the subject of rivers, who can identify this one? (The two pictures are of the same river, taken in different places.)

I'm gonna throw out a guess here, Rick, and say Gila River when it actually has water in it?
Good guess--but no, it's not the Gila. It's bigger than the Gila....
There are quite a number of large lakes in Missouri - Truman, Table Rock, Mark Twain and Lake of the Ozarks being the top 4 for size.
OK, Rick.....my other guess was the Colorado River.

WOW....I love hearing about petroglyphs and pictographs and the stories behind them! We've been to Canyon de Chelly three times now and I really love that place too. The first was in 1975 before we had children and we hiked down to White House Ruin because it was the only way we could get into the canyon without a guide and we also made it to the Spider Rock overlook. We were in transit from one location to another so didn't have a lot of time here. The second time in 1982 was with young children and we just viewed from the canyon rim but we did stay in the Cottonwood Campground for free!
The third time in 2001 we were in our 24 foot motorhome so we couldn't drive into the canyon even with a guide so we did one of what is affectionally known as the "Shake and Bake" tour and because of medical reasons we could only do the half day tour that went half way into each canyon. I'm very sad to hear you can no longer hire a guide and use your own vehicle because we now have a Jeep we tow. Which brings back a story about that tour. We were all sitting in our seats waiting for the tour to begin. One person asked how much the rooms at the lodge in the park cost. One person said $116 and that person then asked how much the camping was. A few of us volunteered the information that it was free! I’ve since read that the campground is no longer free.
I recognized the Spaniards petroglyphs and here is my photo of the same ones with a really old digital camera!

Utahtea…Now that I have learned how to post larger pictures I accept the challenge! ;)
