We headed North out of Austin on 183 and snuggled up in the back of the wagon after a beautiful sunset in Palo Duro Canyon State Park.
Got up with the sunrise and drove straight on in to Colorado.
Steve's wedding was such a fabulous hurricane of family and friends that I didn't even pick up my camera until we started hiking. This one is in an aspen grove just up from the Ceran St. Vrain Creek.
A few more hikes and a lazy mining town day later, Patty pointed me to the Ice Lakes outside of Silverton, CO - amazing.
Suz loved every minute of it!
We wound our way through the mountains outside of Durango, CO and met up with Patty, Ryan & Jack just north of Arizona. We had an INCREDIBLE time with them in Tsaile (and a little slice of Utah!), and finally got to meet their wonderful friends, Julie and Dave! Just Move It!
Yea for new friends!
There was a searingly hot stretch between Arizona and California that (though possessed of indescribable light) I'm glad is in the past...
...particularly because it has led me here; to San Francisco.
To exploring the Pacific Coast with my friend Coby.
To my family.
And perhaps to my own future garden!
After finally getting the not-so-good word from NOLA, I am thrilled by the opportunities that SF opens up and have already started digging through the want ads. More on that once my brain get's itself sorted! In the meantime, there are an obscene amount of photos HERE.
