The first hike was Boulder Loup Trail off Kancamagus Highway. The hike was only two hours long, but I had started late so I decided I'd stop at Glen Ellis Falls on the way back. On the way there I took the Bear Notch Road and stopped for a photo.Glen Ellis Falls.

We went out on a boat today. Before going on the boat, I saved this starfish.I watched it float gently into the ocean until it vanished beneath the dock waters.

I thought, what the heck, and drove from just outside of Rochester back to the Buffalo area to get some pictures of the lights.

The clouds looked very interesting to me, though I guess I must have a thing for clouds so it's not unusual.I don't remember if I took this in Detroit or Port Huron.I finally made it to Toronto, and then I couldn't find where the downtown was. It's not right off the highway, and I couldn't see any signs.

Though I did accomplish these goals, I had to nap on the way to the museum so there wasn't much time before closing to explore.First, here are some pictures of strange buildings at what seemed a "theme" town in Wisconsin. I stopped here just to get lunch, and had no idea what I was in for.

I woke up relatively early and starting from Wyoming, drove to Mount Rushmore first.I'm not sure if these were all in Wyoming or South Dakota. I wasn't all that excited about Mount Rushmore but I figured since I was driving right by it I'd check it out.

Last night I made it into Montana, so when the sun started to rise, I had to continue my trip through this incredibly large state. I took quite a few pictures before I even arrived at Yellowstone in Wyoming. The sky and the clouds left me quite impressed.

I went over to the Space Needle and waited for EMP/SFM (Experience Music Project, Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame) to open. Both are pictured below. Finally EMP opened. I don't have many pictures from it only because photography seemed to be prohibited in most of the sections. It was a great museum though.

One, I failed to notice the free museum hours didn't start until after 5pm, or in the evening at least. Secondly, I really didn't spend any time in Vancouver at all.

I found free wi-fi so easily that I just decided to research things to do, mostly free. The sky was looking like rain, but still had some sun, so I thought I'd start with nature in case it did start to pour.I found a beautiful trail in Forest Park to check out.

I had decided on driving up through Salt Lake City on my way to San Rafael, California. I had only been through Salt Lake City once before and had remembered there being a long stretch of salt flats that for whatever reason caught my imagination.
