At each gas station, we launched a preemptive strike against bug-gut encrustation on the front of the vehicle. It may be many months before leslie has time to give a shit about how clean her car is, and by then the remains may have fossilized. - IMG 2994
I don't know why. Ask her. - IMG 3001
A ridge with a LAKE! It was odd to see a bunch of boats being towed around the desert; we were confounded until we saw the majestic, day-glo lake Powell. - IMG 3003
Things started to get cool as soon as we got on SR-9 on the east side of Zion. - IMG 3005
The "Great Arch of Zion." It's probably about 500 feet tall and 1500 across. Really amazing. This is the first thing you see after leaving a tunnel that takes you into the canyon proper, on the west side. I'd have to say that hands-down, Zion was the most amazing place we saw during the trip. - IMG 3006
Pictures just can't do this place justice. Think thousands and thousands of feet. Hugeness. - IMG 3008

Time for some hiking! - IMG 3010
On the bank of a stream, in the shadow of more huge, shear cliffs. Note the size of the trees on top to get an idea of the height. - IMG 3011
The adventurer finally finds a hat. - IMG 3012
On a hike to the Emerald Pools. - IMG 3015
Within 15 minutes of arriving in Vegas, we are disgusted and return to the interstate to put the horrid city behind us. - IMG 3016
LA at last! Isn't it to soon to be in the last city? - IMG 3018
A year later, the two travelers see the other ocean together. We've now traveled the entire length of Our Great Nation together :) - IMG 3021
A visit to the La Brea tar pits and attendant naturaly history museum. We also stopped by LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art). - IMG 3024
Leslie stands under a wonderful bone arch. It may seem like a waste of fossil-type bones, but apparently they found many millions of bones, more than they need, so they just had someone spend some quailty time with the extras and some expoxy. - IMG 3025
The tar pits themselves. Stinky yet not at all scenic. - IMG 3026
This was the Japanese art building. Inside and out the place was beautiful, but inside no pictures were allowed.
