NorCal and SoOr roadtrip

SoOr is definitely not a thing, but I mean I’m just trying to keep things uniform and stuff…

North Coast potpourri

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

Channel Islands: Anacapa

Here is something I had always wanted to do… visit the Channel Islands.

Skyline in the Santa Cruz Mountains

These are kind of old. I went to Skyline Boulevard (CA-35) with my friend Sarah, her husband Patrick and their dog Max back in January.

America’s Mountain

The light wasn’t all that great but the view was pretty breathtaking.

WY, SD and NE potpourri

The Great Plains are exactly what you’d expect them to be: vast and flat… for thew most part.

La photo du mois: la pluie

This is my seventy-sixth participation in the “photo of the month” challenge. Since this is a French-speaking group, I put the translation below. On the 15th of every month, bloggers from all over the world post a photo on a predetermined subject. This month’s topic is “the rain.”

Ridgeline silhouette

That’s all I gotta say…

Grand Teton: in the shadow of Yellowstone?

Grand Tee-tän that is, not Tee-tun or any other variation.

Wyoming: more cowboy than the south?

I think their license plates are pretty representative of the kind of people you’ll meet there.

Oregon: Keep Portland Weird

Yes. Portland can be a little weird. But if you come from San Francisco, nothing’s really that weird. Portland is weird in its own charming way.

Oregon: John Day Fossil Beds

So now we are finally at John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.

Oregon: Bridal Veil Falls

At the end of May, we finally went on a road trip in Northern Oregon. Wait til you see what’s going on up there!

Voyageurs: so close yet so far, eh?

We were so close to Canada yet so far.

L’Etoile du Nord: Winona – the Island City

Whoever gets to go twice to Winona, MN in their lifetime?
