Is this a Two-Striped Grasshopper - Melanoplus bivittatus? I saw it under the Guide for hoppers and it seems a close match.

Thanks for the ID
I am getting pretty good with that little Kodak Easyshare digital camera. Of course it takes 3 or 4 shots to get a good image, but they're great to look at when done. Thanks again.
