Really. I got a picture of the red cliffs. No, I did. It's fine. - IMG 2943
Ahem. - IMG 2940
Again, I defer. - 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 3016
LA at last! Isn't it to soon to be in the last city? - 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 3012
On a hike to the Emerald Pools. - IMG 3011
The adventurer finally finds a hat. - IMG 3010

Things started to get cool as soon as we got on SR-9 on the east side of Zion. - IMG 3001

I don't know why. Ask her. - IMG 2993
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 2992
We needed to take a picture of this ridge because we hadn't seen anything like it the day before or the day before that. - IMG 2991
Think hard about what the bug splattered on the windshield means for all of us. - IMG 2988

Careful viewers will notice that the moon has been meticulously added with Photoshop. You can't trust anyone these days. - IMG 2972
Obligatory sunset shot. Careful viewers will notice that the sun has been meticulously removed with Photoshop. You can't trust anyone these days. - IMG 2971
So we're not the greatest outdoor cooks. Just because our charcoal isn't hot can't stop us! Hyperventilating and passing out to keep the fire oxygenated was well worth it for mediocre steak and slightly-charred carrots.
