hehehehehe. I'm writing this on June 6, 2009. I'm in the process of porting my website and other applications to PHP so I can easily move them from a personal server to a web hosting service so I'm able to hit the road for an extended period of time. Oh ya... the laugh... This trip took place seven years ago and the original page was merely all the photos below. No words. Just photos and the intention to add words at some point in the future. I reckon this is it.
I was still on the road after my 48-Plus ride to HyderSeek. I mean, why go home if you don't have any pressing business? I scoured the entire western states and road through some amazing places. I snapped a few pics along the way. These were take somewhere near Mt. Ranier in Washington.
Not only did I want to see Ranier up close, I wanted to see Mt. St. Helens. To this day I have a jar full of ash that one of my aunts sent us from Spokane. I never made it to Mt. St. Helens because I was too early in the season and the road up to the visitor's center was closed.

After Mt Ranier and the failed attempt at Mt Saint Helens, I shimmied over to the Oregon coast and headed south.
While riding along the California coast is breathtaking, I decided to head inland. These shots are from the Mono Lake area:
No trip to California is complete without a ride through Yosemite:
Well, and there's the Sequoia National Park and the General Sherman Tree - the largest living thing on earth:
And Death Valley...
And Joshua Tree...
And the Hoover Dam...
And Zion National Park...
And the Grand Canyon... from the north end...
And Monument Valley...
And Mexican Hat Rock...
And Natural Bridges...
And Jacob's Chair...
And Bryce Canyon...
And Beartooth Highway...
And Old Faithful...
And Devil's Tower...
And Mount Rushmore...
And the Dakota Badlands...
And Mesa Verde National Park...
And Arches National Park...
And finally, Canyon de Chelly...
