Multnomah Falls

Multnomah Falls, about a half hour's drive East of Portland, Oregon.
This set of falls was referenced in a book I had read lately, The Shack
Just about what i had pictured in mind only much larger.
Wow.

Recap

As most road trips go there are great days when everything is smooth and easy and the sun shines on you, there are then the days that seem like work. Yesterday was that day of work. The drive time was only 10 hours but it seemed to take weeks. The clouds were thick and low, or maybe I was in a higher elevation, for a majority of the drive it was spitty almost rainy and the sun never did appear. The roads through the mountain passes were wet the temperature was low in the 30's. Winding mountain passes, freezing temps, and rain ya it was never racking.
After all was done i never once reached for my camera so today the post is a recap to bring you current.
From Austin Texas west to Southern California, up to Portland rather south of. I have just about 2600 miles in so far and 5 days down.
I hope that today brings much more excitement and joy, and more images from this trip.
home is just around the next pass. And i cant wait to see my family there

drive time

Stop and smell the roses

It was brought to my attention yesterday that I have a great opportunity in life. I am on the road exploring the southern US and West Coast. For One week Me and the crew are on the way to Seattle. I have enough time to slow down but i feel i have to go. Yesterday on my way to Southern California I found that my next stop was really only 2 hours away and at noon that's not a long way to go. So I took a detour.

The Grand Canyon was only an hour north of the highway I was on so why not.
Once I arrived at the the Big Gorge I knew that stopping was truly a Must. You don't know until you see it for yourself but wow it was more them worth the stop


I know the phrase all too well, I know it but don't live it. This week really needs to be about smelling the roses.

Sun Set in Santa Fe

This set of pictures would best describe the area of Santa Fe to me, WOW what a gorgeous place. The black and white are south of town and the sunset is west. The b/w vs the bright color is just a small contrast of the emotions I have experienced while on the road to Seattle.

Road Trip

One from the road.
As many know, I am on my way north to Seattle. Taking the opportunity along the way to snap a few pictures and share them with you.
Stay tuned this week as I post one a day or more.
