Pics 232: The New Stacy

Last weekend I was out of town, and it took longer to return than I thought it would, thanks to a surprise blizzard and a flight mess caused by the government shutdown. So it took me longer to get back to work, meaning I don't have much to share.<...

This week I'm focusing on the make out sessions in the jeep at the vista. Yeah I know from a game perspective that 's lame, but there are multiple versions and some are interesting.

After the lake, it make sense to go to the vista. There are about 80 pictures in this location, so I'm trying to do at least 10 a day to do them all this month.
