Solar Power

Much of the electricity we use is supplied by a solar power (photovoltaic) system. Our solar power page describes the system and shows how much power we produced and consumed for the current day and past year.

Travelogues

Michelle lives to travel; Allen goes along most of the time. We both enjoy backpacking. Here are selected photographs from some of the trips we've made.

For best viewing, you should adjust your display so that it's compatible with the sRGB standard. If you're unfamiliar with that, or your display doesn't have an sRGB option, try adjusting brightness and contrast so that each of the following 26 gray squares is distinguishable from the squares next to it:

• Death Valley, March 2006
• Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Denali National Park, June, 2005
• South Australia and Tasmania in March, 2005
• Costa Rica in March, 2004
• Trans-Sierra backpacking trip in August, 2003.
