Wagons West

So pointing west mom and I streaked across the continent. We took a straight shot across just north of the route dad and I had taken a few weeks earlier. The first really cool place we came to was Badlands National Park

Baylee enjoyed the views as the rolled by from the comfort of her palace.



After applying adequate amounts of sunscreen Mom and I went for a short hike to check out this cool rock formation.

After enjoying all of the wonders of the park we stopped long enough to eat a picnic lunch. Then shortly after we were in the truck again. Still headed west.

For dinner we ate lake side in the heart Grand Tetons National Park on the shores of Jenny Lake.

The view for breakfast was about 2/3's the way up Signal Mountain.

Oh and if I forgot to mention my mother spent her first night in a tent in at least 20 years!

Baylee loved her breakfast with a view but wished there had more of it.

A few days and plenty on miles later we made it back to Astoria, OR. After a day or two's rest we decided to take the kayaks for a paddle. We hit the John Day River.

Summer time in Michigan

So after a few days of hanging out with the family Tiffanie and I headed north to Canada. We were up there a few days to collect data for her masters project. On our trip we stopped at Tahquamenon Falls State Park in the northern peninsula.

Here we are on the steps to the northern falls, as a word of warning it is not advised to look directly at the legs. Just try to focus on the cute doggy or beautiful woman.

This photo shows why myself and countless other children called them the Root Beer falls.

And our way home we stopped at Point Iriquois Lighthouse on the southern shore of Lake Superior



Tiffanie decided to to sneak Shadow up the light tower so he could see the view from the top.









Shadow looking down the steps that he could now see trough as he walked down them.
It took a bit of prompting but he made it.
