As you can tell I’m way behind on editing and posting so here it is…

Salvation Mountain #3

Smog Lake City?

I had no idea this was even an issue in Salt Lake City, but I did notice the smog as I was driving next to Salt Lake on our way out of town.

San Francisco: a step ahead

The City is home to lots of cool stairs, some with tiles, some with amazing views, others with both.

Oregon: Keep Portland Weird

On my way back to MSP from Winona, I decided to cross the river over to the Wisconsin side and explore just a little more before leaving for good this time.

L’Etoile du Nord: St. Paul

Last pit stop before dropping off my girlfriend at the airport: St. Paul.
