...A summer (back!)road trip

I was blessed enough this summer to spend two months on a road trip that included eight states and the province of Canada's British Columbia. Part of it was with friends, and part of it was alone. All of it was glorious.

For easier navigation, I have broken the trip into three legs. The leg from Santa Fe, New Mexico to Seattle with a friend - almost all of it backroads; three weeks in British Columbia with two friends make up the second leg; and the third leg involves three weeks on my own from Victoria back to New Mexico - again, much of it backroads.

Legs 1 and 2 of the trip each has its own page, but I've broken British Columbia into five pages, just to keep them shorter. Links will be given for easy navigation. For the most part, the pages and the photos on each page will be in chronological order.

This page is a layout of the complete trip. It should help navigate through the maze of pages. Anyone who gets lost can always return to this page and get back on track. It's called A Summer Road Trip -Home page.

As always, thank you for visiting my web site. I hope the images will spark enough interest, for those of you who can, to make your own trip to see what this beautiful world of ours has to offer.
