Traveled from Seattle to Boston via LA and Denver to visit friends and family - these are "USA Drive-By" sorts of shots ... Should have taken another week... of the two masters, schedule dominated after the first few days.
Started up north at Mt. Baker with a farewell to the Cascades and Shelby. Met up with the Rice clan in Portland. The Oregon coast was wonderful, Cali too - "Hi" to Viv & Constantine! Don't forget ginger tea next cold Viv (-; Quick jaunts through Joshua Tree, Zion, Bryce, Arches (for almost a whole day!). Sweet visit with Jenna, Amar & the girls. Got to see Kate, Steve & the boys...then a race east meeting some now less important deadlines and meetings... 5968 miles and a couple of photos later.... Enjoyed the travels and especially surprised with Iowa - wonderful looking landscapes and pleasant people.
