I’ve been so busy writing about how to travel, there haven’t had any posts recently about my travels. Over the past few months we’ve been camping, driving and working our way across the US, through British Columbia, into the Yukon and finally Alaska. This post covers the US leg of the trip from Northampton, MA to Port Angeles, WA. My favorite places were driving through North Dakota and Montana and later the islands off of Washington state. I won’t go into too much detail about the road trip, it’s an easy one to recreate, but here’s a little peek at our life on the road.
Theses are really beautiful pictures! Congrats.
What type of camera do you use?
Carolina´s last blog ..Ask the Readers: Are you still climbing?
Thanks Carolina! It’s a Canon 40D.
The picture of the long, straight dirt road is spectacular. It looks like a postcard.
And, of course, I love any picture with a dog in it.

Great shots! I’m looking at eventually getting a Canon 50D. Can’t wait.

Love your on-the-road photos! This summer, we camped constantly and the one image that sticks in my mind is the “Bear in Area” sign I seemed to see everywhere.

What an adventure! I especially like the second last photo. I wonder what lake that is. And the last shot of your dogs makes me smile. They look very comfortable in that tent.

Oh, this is not enough! I want more detail about your drive to Alaska!
I am doing a solo trip to the Arctic Ocean and would love to read more about your drive.

Oh my God, these are beautiful! I never think that traveling the U.S. can be as rewarding as traveling abroad (native bias, I guess), but these made me think twice.
Kat´s last blog ..That Nobel Peace Prize was for us!
Whew! I feel like a slogged all the miles of these journeys with you. I like the pix of the peacock and your darling dog the best.

I would love to know where each of these photos were taken. I’m an armchair traveler until the beginning of the year, so I’m living the life of travel vicariously throuhg you!

Barbara-
How about this… I’ll give $100 to anyone that can correctly label each picture in this post by location.
The pictures are amazing and I specially like the lake picture with the boat.
Great pics! Makes my little heart pitter patter!
The house is sold and the 5th wheel is paid off!
We start our journey March 2011!
It cant get here quick enough!
Did you ever take photography classes or did you just take it up as a hobby indepedently?
I bought a Nikon D40 about a year and a half ago and tried to learn the craft through classes but I was always too busy and didn’t enjoy the learning methodology as much as just picking up the camera and going to take pictures.
Are you a fan of photoshop? Something I haven’t experimented with much either.
BTW – Your Dogs Rock.

Carolina,
No classes, just books. The best thing I’ve found is just learning your own camera. Go through the manual and see what’s what.
Thanks re the dogs. I’m pretty sure they think so too.
Simply beautiful photos

You have a great blog and I love the photos of your recent travels. They are beautiful! I’m wondering how you have all the camping gear. Do you store it when you’re not camping? Or do you always travel with camping gear?
Great shots! I’m jealous of all the roadtrip shots. Maybe next summer I’ll finally do that across the US roadtrip! Love the road shot, especially.

These are beautiful pictures!!! Love it!
Great to see photos up of your travels, looks like youve seen some amazing things along the way.
I love the photo of the fence and wheel…it’s so simple, yet really gives a sense of place!

What part in here is Yukon?, by the way I’m feeling great just by seeing your pictures on this trip.
