Bridgeport, Twin Lakes, Mono Lake and the Sierra Nevada Mountains We woke up in Bridgeport, which is one of those towns along US 395 that if you blink, you will miss it. Buddy and I began the day with a walk through town. That was enough to convince me that we were going to have to do a little exploring before we started the last leg of our journey home. I saw a sign for Twin Lakes and decided that we should go check them out. It was a great decision as the lakes and snow-capped mountains were very picturesque. …

Pictures from along Lake Tahoe and US 395 [adrotate group=”6″] California and Nevada We spent the day driving around Lake Tahoe. It is amazing how long that can take when you are stopping as frequently as we do for picture taking. Tahoe was a bit chilly, but amazingly beautiful. After circling the lake we headed towards Yosemite. Unfortunately, Highway 120 was closed, so we had to figure out what to do about that. After driving back and forth on the 395 as we changed destinations, we decided to just head south and see what we see. That policy has worked …

Nevada Photos [adrotate group=”6″] Wendover to South Lake Tahoe We left West Wendover, NV and headed west to Lake Tahoe. While it was a little chilly, it was nothing compared to the last several days. Since it was Cinco de Mayo, we decided to find a Mexican restaurant along the way for dinner. We landed in Sparks, NV at Cantina Los Tres Hombres. The food was tasty and they had a wide selection of tequilas to choose from. Alexis, our server made a couple nice suggestions and we left satisfied. From there it was a relatively short drive to South …

Photos From Wyoming and Utah [adrotate group=”6″] Independence Rock and Great Salt Lake Time is running out and there are still a lot of miles to go, so today was a lot of driving. Since we were driving through Wyoming and Utah it was easy to put on the miles as there was very little to stop and photograph. Coupled with the fact that the wind was 60+ in places, when we did stop to do anything, we usually did it quickly as it was really cold. We did spend a little time at Independence Rock, and walked around most …

Road Dogs

Prior to April, the furthest Buddy had ever traveled in my car was 200 miles round trip. Today’s daily photo for Project 365 is a picture of Buddy and I in northern Utah, after more than 7,000 miles together. He is definitely a great road dog.

Photos Of Our Third Day In South Dakota [adrotate group=”6″] Our Visit To Custer State Park, Sturgis and Spearfish Today, Tanya and I spent a few hours cruising around Custer State Park. Neither of us had been there before, and thanks to a spontaneous turn and the input of a park ranger that noticed our cameras, we ventured far into the park. It was a wonderful decision as the photos will show. We took another detour north to Sturgis and Spearfish, as I wanted to show Tanya what it was that drove me to ride. I was amazed at what …

Photos From South Dakota, Day Two [adrotate group=”6″] Wall Drug, the Badlands, Bear Country and Mt Rushmore I have probably visited South Dakota ten times prior to this visit, but three places I never checked out were Wall Drug, Badlands National Park and Bear Country USA. Wall Drug is a tourist trap, but to be fair, they don’t gouge the visitor with their prices, so no complaints. I have always meant to visit the Badlands, but never got around to it. We left Wall Drug and headed the seven miles over to the park. I am not sure what the …

South Dakota Photos [adrotate group=”6″] Sioux City To Wall, SD Great day! We are driving out of Sioux City and I [half] joked that we should find somewhere to dump Buddy for the day, and go rent a Harley. Of course I was not serious, but if it was thrown at me. . . Anyway, a hour down the road we spot a billboard for J&L Harley-Davidson in Sioux Falls. We decided to stop there to pick up a couple t-shirts. As it turns out, they were giving demo rides of the 2010 models. Next thing I knew, I had …

Beautiful Midwest Skies [adrotate group=”6″] The Drive From Kansas to South Dakota Woke up in Kansas City, KS and it looked like it rained in the few hours I slept. This was confirmed when I took Buddy out for his morning walk when it began pouring buckets, complete with lightning and thunder. I guess it was the fringe of the storm that caused all the tornadoes that touched down everywhere we had already traveled to. On the upside, there were some pretty nice cloud formations that made for some nice photographs. We blasted over to Omaha, NE and had one …

Photos From Illinois, Missouri and Kansas [adrotate group=”6″] Fun Visit To Hannibal, MO Woke up in Springfield, IL to a very blustery day. We decided to head to Hannibal, MO to take a couple pictures and move on. That lasted several hours. Very cool little town, and if you appreciate Mark Twain like I do, it is a total kick. My great-grandfather was born there and Tanya had to wonder if they ever crossed paths. We then took a ride to Pershing State Park and eventually to Kansas City, KS. We did stop in Kansas City, MO because we wanted …
