A Body on the Beach Weekly Link Round-Up




There's something about going on vacation: you just get back and you start planning the next one. This time Denis and I find ourselves in a quandary. We had so much fun using our National Parks pass in California that we're having a difficult time choosing where to go next. Yellowstone? Zion? Bryce? Or should we make a left turn at Albuquerque and stay in the Santa Fe and Taos areas? Decisions, decisions!

In the mean time, here's a photo from our California trip. Denis and I were at Sand Harbor on Lake Tahoe, enjoying the peace and quiet and the incredible beauty when I saw something on the beach that my mind insisted on teasing itself with.

Two lines with footprints in between. The footprints are pointed toward land, not the water, so something was hauled up from the water.

Was it a body? ...or do I read too much crime fiction? Any way you look at it, it's time to head on out to the corral for those links I've been saving for y'all. Head 'em up! Mooooooooooove 'em out!

  1. I know what you mean, Cathy, about planning the next trip. I like doing that, too. And that 'photo certainly does suggest a lot of questions! Thanks, as ever, for those links. I've been following the whole Amelia Earhart story; I wonder if we'll ever find out the truth...

    1. I have a feeling that we will learn the truth...but will we believe it? :-)
