Dad and I have been planning on this trip since the days of Hamilton (and the epic fail that happened in upstate New York). So, it was long over due when we climbed into my Cazz Machine and headed West. We had a BLAST! We saw so much of the country and stopped as so many amazing places and talked about so many things.
I'm slowly going to post photos from the week, but I easily took over 3,000, so I'll do it a little at a time so I don't get overwhelmed. Here we go:
On the road! I took this as we passed the place where Dad and I had to turn around with Hamilton the first time we attempted this trip:
The locks at the Erie Canal.
Beautiful sunset and incoming thunderstorm in upstate New York:
Dad drove through the night and switched out with me around 4:00 AM. We drove through Chicago around 6:00 AM, as the sun was rising. And I survived it.
Dad and I at a rest stop in Minnesota:
Driving over a bridge in South Dakota, where we finally stopped; after driving for 27 hours straight!
The prairie of South Dakota. It was stunning:
(Dad is still learning how to use the focus on my SLR)
Filling up in Wall, South Dakota.
Dad scraping the bug guts off my windshield. We had to do this every time we filled up. The guts were NASTY!
Dad at Wall Drug, in South Dakota. It's a giant drug store turned into a tourist attraction. We
We snagged lunch before we headed towards the badlands.
Seriously though; America is beautiful and I loved every moment I spent in the car seeing it.
