also the wildlife. Also skied the Tetons. |
 |
Jan
22nd - 24th, March 4th - 6th & 10th - 11th, 2006 |
Idaho - land of stone chips. We cracked the windscreen 4 times in 2
days as they do not believe in sand and salt, instead rocks seem like a
good alternative. Great scenery and big mountains. |

cool. |

where we registered Hopper and home to Crater Lake. A great green state
with beautiful scenery. The Colombia Gorge and its frozen waterfalls
were amazing. |

California,
Neil and Hopper's birth state, has it all. Great weather, wonderful
State and National Parks.
Our route had us criss crossing the state and having fun where ever we
went. Our only unplanned stop was in Bishop
California - a
few days after picking up Hopper, Ford replaced the main
prcessor
and all was good! |

 |
Jan
24th - 27th & Feb 16th - 22nd, 2006 |
Utah
a
land of an awful lot of red sandstone most of which is really
impressive. Trouble is there is sooo much. By the end you feel you have
done red sandstone. |
 |
Feb

New
Mexico
- finally down in the Sun checking out caves, old ruins, natural
springs and some great scenery. However, our time was short
as we
headed north to get to Yellowstone before it closed. |
 |
Feb

Colorado
-
we entered bottom left, slid up the left side and exited top left. What
we saw was great but we barely tickled this state. |
 |
March
12th - 20th, 2006 |
Montana
was
very beautiful, however, many of our photos of the wildlife and views
seem to have disappeared. Hopefully, we will find more soon and update
this link to show Glacier National Park and many of the deer. |

Alaska.
Really opens for tourists in the middle of May. We were there a couple
of weeks early, the weather was fine but the grass and trees had not
turned green after the snow had gone. Great wildlife, great views and
few inhabitants. |
