Oh the great Mississippi! Lock 13 near Fulton Illinois.

The butterfly garden at Iowa state university. The best way to spend a rest day!

Four days without showering and I've achieved my life long dream of making my hair stand up vertical!

Sunrise in the Badlands.

Buffalo, pronghorn antelope, headwinds oh my!

What do you do when there are 30 mph headwinds? Make a kite!

Magical rainbow fall colors!

Sand-mud castle, a dance hall for the grizzly bear fairies!

I'm the sun, hear me roar!

Pacific Northwest at last! Home here I come!

Home sweet home.

I found a dad!

Where one journey ends, another one begins.
