Shingletown



The view from Patrick's deck in Shingletown.

I would have blogged more on this trip but it's hard to write while sitting on the back of a motorcycle. I can do it, but it's hard to hold a pen while wearing leather gloves and in any case I'm supposed to be holding onto something so I don't go flying off if we have to stop suddenly.

They don't pull over their own kind...



...except when they do.



Patrick charming his way out of a ticket. Or playing a game of cat and mouse - depending on your point of view.

Wagontire International Airport

Craters of the Moon



Strange fields of lava somewhere between Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Boise.

Mr. Pickles



And what road trip would be complete without a stop at Mr. Pickles' burger joint...



...and a little rest and silliness in the big green chair?

Tetons


We stopped for a rest along the shore of Jackson Lake, in the Tetons.

Yellowstone!


The requisite photo at the entrance to Yellowstone... through the windshield.
