This five week trip focused on Colorado & Wyoming with lots of other states on the way there from New York. I posted nightly to Flickr and the blog (links in the yellow bar above). Those photos will give you a glimpse of what will appear soon at this website.
There are about 5,000 photos from this summer trip. The photos from Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, and Wisconsin are all up. I am now finishing up the photos from South Dakota. But I'm taking a little time out since Flickr has rocked my world. If you're a Flickr user, you know what I mean. I'm now moving my 8,000 photos to ipernity -- which is a pretty big project in itself. It also means creating new sets, starting new groups, and all that.
Hopefully, next week, I'll start on the bulk of the photos (Wyoming & Colorado). That will probably keep me busy most of the summer. Yes, I do have an unrelated day job. You can follow along with the additions at the list below. They are listed alphabetically by section, then by state and city.
