Around the World in 80 Days... Or Cross Country in Ten

Below are some pictures from our cross country drive, as we moved from Pennsylvania to Oregon. Most of this Janelle and I had seen before, but it never gets old, and it was a joy to share these things with our boys Ben and Will. Janelle and I honeymooned in Rocky Mountain National Park, so it will always have a special place in our hearts. This spectacular valley vista shows the last of the beautiful fall aspen colors.

Above is a picture of the Wind River Canyon in northwest Wyoming. Driving north through this canyon was just beautiful, and delivered us to Cody, where we took a left and headed for the East Entrance to Yellowstone.

Some hot springs, such as this one, are incredibly beautiful. The color and the clarity are mesmerizing. It's amazing to look into their depths and imagine how deep they might be.

This mountainside highway in Yellowstone leads to Mammoth Hot Spring. It's another amazing scene.

This spring is the birthplace of Henry's Fork in Idaho. Pictures don't do it justice. Imagine a full flowing river birthed right out of a hillside, and that's Henry's Fork. The crystal clear water shows off its lush foliage. We didn't get to see one, but I can just imagine a moose munching to its heart's content in this paradise.

I'd like to share more pictures, but unfortunately one of our memory sticks got lost. It's probably laying in a parking lot somewhere in Yellowstone; we're really not sure.
