I would die to take a trip like that, I wish that we could afford such a venture. Can I follow you with my Tacoma and the Cannondale stuffed on the back for next year? LOL


You commented on the Asians and Germans - one thing that I have always found fascinating is that the first and 2nd generation immigrants of this country often admire and respect our scenery much more. At any tourist attraction it is common to see more foreign people than typical white americans, reminding me of the greatness of this country and the aspirations of so many in this world to live in such a wonderful place.

Great pics Ryan, thank you for sharing them. Glad that you had a great time!

Thanks Zack! Sure you can tag along next year!

Quite true on the difference in new americans and foreigners! You can see and hear clearly the passion and appreciation outsiders have for our democracy and our land. The natives have had it so long they are perfectly content to let it slip away through apathy and ignorance.

good to see you again man!

Thanks Ryan I used your pics to talk my family into a trip like that rather than Disneyland.Camping out and all those sights sure are inspiring.When I was a kid my whole family 6 of us took a trip to Yellowstone in a Impala station wagon camping along the way.Of all the things we did as a family I remember that trip the most.:clap:
