Closing thoughts...

I think everyone who lives in this beautiful country needs to drive across it at least once. Here's the approximate route I followed cross country. (not all the intermediate points are stops... I just had to create them to make the route follow the correct roads).

Also, I created dedicated photo galleries for my time in Glacier NP and for the Dallas World Aquarium (two very photogenic spots that I couldn't come even close to showing all the photos here in the blog that I wanted to)

Glacier National Park (check out a cool feature here: At the lower left, there is a link that says "View map". Click that, then turn the Google maps mode to "Hybrid" and zoom way in to see where the photos were taken.

Dallas World Aquarium

Other than that, I'm ready to sign out of this summer's adventure and return to blogging at ny06jh.blogspot.com. Oh yeah... 4600 miles in a BMW without even getting pulled over, and the worst damage sustained was a small chip in the windshield. Not bad... I'd do it all again.

Jon,

We really enjoyed reading about your adventure. Glad to hear that you are safe and ready to get back to work. Wish we could have been with you on all of your hikes. Besides the rattle snake at Alta, Mary and I have seen our first black bear at the Ice Caves and wild turkeys in Michigan.

Loved your pictures and map of your trip!

Tim and Mary.
