Going on a Road Trip

The summer is winding down and I have decided to go on a road trip to the western United States and part of Canada.  This is a bit of a different kind of road trip than I have done in the past were the destination was usually the point of the trip more than the journey itself.  For this it trip is all about the adventure.  What we will see along the way and how different it may be from where we started.  I will try my best to record this trek by way of pictures and anecdotes.  Share some road trip games played, show the sights, and interesting detours.

For this particular trip my travel buddy and I are starting up in Vancouver, BC Canada, by way of various trains and cars we will some how end up in Phoenix, Arizona two weeks later.  While there is lots of driving involved we do plan to hike some of the great parks that are out west to take a break from sitting in a car for long periods of time.  Both of us are not real mountain climbers but do enjoy taking in the views along the way, likely taking the easy trail or viewing from afar. 

Things I am looking forward to:

• Being out in fresh air away from the city
• Being away from city lights to be able to see a clear sky at night to look for stars and planets
• Seeing more trees than people
• Seeing new interesting wildlife 
• Hoping not to encounter a bear in the wild
• Getting a decent panorama image of natural sights - Grand Canyon especially
• Learn something new about life out west
• Much, much more...

Stay tuned, Meet Me Outdoors.
