America road trip

[Jason James Gairn]

Hey y'all. Just got back from a road trip through California and Nevada. Here are a few non-Vegas pictures. What a place! Awesome in the classical sense, breath taking in the literal sense.

Tis good to be back. I missed the cold and rain in a perverse kind of way.

And er.. some more.

Sequoia giants! The largest of which lay on the ground. But the biggest standing ones are 3000 years old. While we were there, there was a controlled burn. A felling crew were making safe for the burn crews, some big timber came down. Wow! what a crash!

Yosemite valley is stupid beautiful! I was crying with..I don't even know what emotion I felt as we came round the bend and saw el cap, bold as brass just sitting there, a KM high and gorgeous. Highly recommend California. The people are great too. Shot a few nutty guns in Nevada, but that's another story, So's the one in the mexican strip joint.

Man, you've 48 more states to sightsee!

 

That last pic is awesome!

I know. No wonder only 10% of you Americans own passports. I thought Oregon next?

Wow! Lovely pics, thanks for sharing.

Nice pics jason... i did a 12500 mile road trip around the US in 1997, over a 6month period. Saw some fantastic sights but unfortunately didnt get to the redwoods... I did climb and camp in Joshua tree nat. park for 8 days though (I was travelling with 2 climbing instuctors) It was all pre digital for me in those days so all the pics are the old type. Look like you had a great trip - I would love to get back out to Cali and Oregon to see the redwoods and Sequioa's.

 

cheers again for the insight.
