Wild Wild West II

Britt and I made our second trek across the western US. Seattle to Chicago= 2758.4 miles! We only had 7 miles of unpaved road, 1 hail storm, 1 gnome death, and 1 flat tire. All in all, a successful trip! Seattle May 07, Here comes the Sun!
The Columbia River in Central Washington State. This was our first official 'scenic' overlook. It was gorgeous!
Oh Give me a Home where the Buffalo roam... This is at the western entrance to Yellowstone National Park. What a way to spend Memorial Day!

Boiling Lava Hot. It will destroy your mouth (that was a tribute to my friend Jim Gaffigan). Thermal ground, thanks to the Volcano Bed of Yellowstone.

Old Faithful Geyser


Britt and Coop as Old Faithful simmers down.

4 dead guys on the side of a mountain! Mt. Rushmore. Pretty darn cool.
A Highlight of the Trip- the Badlands of South Dakota!
We traveled with our 'Gnome away from home' Arthur Albert Alfredson. He was our AAA insurance. Arthur, however, met an untimely death as he fell off a cliff at the badlands. Poor Arthur. May he Rest in pieces. Above is our memorial to him.
More 'Bad'lands. After our AAA insurance passed that day, we got a flat tire coming in to Omaha. Coincidence, I think not.

We stayed with Mike's sister and brother-in-law in Omaha. These are their 2 kids Carson (almost 3), and Olivia (9 months). Huge Thanks to Lindsey and Dax for their hospitality and fixing of our tire!
Britt and Olivia assume the same position.



I got back in to STL Thursday, and I leave tomorrow for Barretstown, Ireland! I'll keep you updated. http://www.barretstown.org/. Happy June!
