long overdue, but some pictures from our family trip to San Francisco and back - in a car, of course (7/25 - 8/3).
Mt. Rushmore, SD. I forget the peoples' faces but you can look them up yourselves. It's a lot smaller in real-life than I imagined...oh well, still impressive that someone spent all that time to carve up that mountain.
Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park, WY. It smells like sulphur everywhere. I actually got absolutely drenched by a geyser that day...hah.
Elk? Also in Yellowstone. Underexposure problems.
Guy painting at the Lower Falls at Yellowstone. Inspiration Point was closed because of road construction, so this is at Artist Point (I guess it is correctly named...). Gorgeous place.
Grand Tetons National Park, WY, just south of Yellowstone.
Sit-down restaurant at Jackson Lake Lodge in Grand Tetons National Park. Food was OK but expensive. You pay for the view, definitely.
Sunset in Logan, UT. I think we're waiting in the parking lot of a KFC, stopped because someone had to use the bathroom (not me).
Great Salt Plains, somewhere between Salt Lake City, UT, and Reno, NV. Yes, my dad pulled over in the shoulder of I-80, and we got out and took pictures.
Hoover Tower at Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA. Bells at the top of the tower. Everything else was boring.
San Francisco, CA, from the Oakland Bay Bridge, the double-decker one the collapsed in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Taken out the backseat window of a moving car.
SunRISE on the way home from San Francisco. We left SF at 7AM on a Saturday...and got home at 11PM on Sunday. This was around sunrise on Sunday morning...that was not a fun drive home.
That's all...I have a lot more (I took about 800ish pictures, but a lot of them are bad) but it takes forever to upload on my slow internet.
