So long! (For now...)

Alright folks, I've got a few more things to pack and some last-minute blog posts to finish, but otherwise I'm all set for the big trip to Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho. Fossil Butte, Dinosaur National Monument, Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Park, Craters of the Moon... it's going to be one hell of a vacation. At least I will have plenty to write about when I get back!

I won't return until late on August 30th, but I may pop in to share a few photos if I stop by somewhere that's wired. There will still be plenty going on here at Laelaps, though. I have scheduled a bunch of posts for while I am gone so keep checking back. See you in 17 days!

I am back from our trip into the Mountain West - and it was great (see some of the pictures below). We hit Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, the Tobacco Root Mountains, Glacier and Craters of the Moon - and the weather held out on us just fine. This week is the last week before classes start here at…

Okay. I've been back a week now, and am getting myself a little recombobulated, so now it's time to jump back in to blogging. Thanks for your patience while I've been offline. Our trip out west was phenomenal. As I've mentioned, my parents have a cabin north of Vancouver, and it's really the…

Enjoy!

I can't wait to see what you post about upon your return.

All right! A fellow National Park traveler! If you see Arvid Aase at Fossil Butte, tell him Matt Brown says hi. Take the ferry across Jenny Lake at Teton and hike up to the waterfall. If you can't get a room at Old Faithful (and really you must), have dinner, spend the evening hanging out, watching the geyser, and having a Scotch, then sleep in your car in the parking lot. The bathrooms in the Lodge are in the hallways, that includes the showers.
