So video didn't work out so great - crummy wireless, slow uploads, and an uncomfortable chair. On the other hand, I found some pretty nice pictures. In this post are images from the early part of the trip until Yellowstone. Chris will fill in the captions (at his leisure).
5 July 2008 -
Julie has left us this afternoon for San Juan Islands. A day later than the 4th, Chris and I are on our own exploring Vancouver Island. We expect to be heading back Stateside in the next few days. I'll upload pictures up to Vancouver soon; I'll need to get more video filmed and find a way to upload it all, too....
Tim with his Booze
Before our trip into Yellowstone we stopped to resupply ourselves and send out a few postcards. Tim took the break to a new level and helped himself to some wine before we headed out. He calls me a fish!
Twisty road
This picture is from the road leading out of Yellowstone. I think Tim was trying to capture both the road and the boulders and trees surrounding it all in one shot.
Food troubles
Here I am trying to find a way to pack all of our recently purchased food into the car. I think we spent nearly an hour trying to find a spot for everything. Our cooler only held so much, and we needed to preserve our cool items and the ice together. When we bought the cooler it guaranteed to keep ice for five days, and I think the closest we got to that was three. In order to solve our food storage problem, we ended up cramming random food items into the smallest of corners in the car. It wasn’t until a few hundred miles later that we realized the error of our ways, and maintained a ‘food bag’ to hold PB&J and snacks for quick access on the road. Nothing was more frustrating than wanting something to eat and not finding food at hand.
3 Garbage Cans
Another one of Julie’s garbage can shots. This was taken somewhere between Ohio and Kansas.
Peace Sign in Boulder
As soon as I walked out of a coffee shop in Boulder this caught my attention. I had just savored the absolute best cup of coffee previously, I was going through caffeine withdrawal for two days at that point, so I felt on top of the world. I wanted to capture the moment by snapping this sign. I had only been in Boulder for two hours by this time and already I was in love with the city. Everyone was in a good mood and group spirits were high that day. Julie and I finally got some coffee and Tim was able to reconnect to the internet world. Boulder was probably my third favorite city out of the whole trip, trumped by Vancouver and San Francisco.
