Wow!

Good report and nice pics as usual, mD. Thanks for sharing. That looks like the Hoover Dam I defended in Fallout: New Vegas :)

Looks like a great ride, can you post a google map of your route?

Great Trip !! Thanks for sharing pics !! You are so right that planet is beautiful but our own backyard (in US and Canada) is awesome too !! There's so much to explore here... Once again, good job and thanks for sharing your experience.....

Here's a ride for your next road trip, mD. I bet V. would look good on it!

Great pics thanks for sharing! Love the ones of Monument Valley and Utah. I used to drive through there en route to Moab in my old Jeep - brought back some good memories! I see you were in my neck of the woods too. There's certainly a lot of great scenery in the Southwest and all throughout the US!

MD, awesome pics from an awesome trip. Now, I want to go on a road trip too! :) Thanks for sharing and great photog skills!

Thank you for the kinds words & props!
I do have a few GOOG maps, but they are nightmareish in that small format, and also don't allow for numbers of 'stops'/days past '24'. But, I will toss some up later.

Waddling around the west and Left Coast, lost my/our focus, so resuming some more road pics: Monument Valley guide Harry with VZ looking like a prisoner on display by the Taliban :rofl: , then more of Humboldt Redwood Forest in CA, then up the OR coast, to Seattle in the next batch#5 & #6.
V had never been to the Pike Place Mkt, so we spent all day; fookin packed on a Wednesday. What recession?!
Thanks for looking!

Batch 6...
And, PikePlaceMkt in Seattle...
We cooped for 2 days in a Marriott, (using some of my 800,000 points), and spent some good off road/down time, and rearranged our suitcases for the upcoming Alaskan cruise from Vancouver to Whittier.

As a seafood lover, we were blown away by the variety, quality and decent pricing on the PikePlaceMkt seafood, and buckets of flowers for $10, and on and on...
