I recently saw this picture in another thread here on the forum. I think it’s really relevant to my own experience of the idiotic behavior of some tourists in Yellowstone.

Thanks guys! I'm almost done with this one...

Day 8: West Yellowstone to Cody and then Beartooth Pass and Chief Joseph Scenic Hwy Route: West Yellowstone to the East Entrance via 191, 89, Norris Canyon Rd, Grand Loop Rd joining 14/16/20 to Cody via Wapiti. I am still in pain about the cost of the previous night’s accommodation but...

Day 14: San Diego to Los Angeles (continued)

Thanks, Mr Z, I have no doubt that TVB would take great pictures on a trip like this.

Day 14: San Diego to Los Angeles The final day of my grand American Southwest adventure beckons, and what a ride it has been! The quickest path from San Diego to Los Angeles might be via I-15 North, but where is the fun in that? Today's not about speed; it is about savoring every last moment...

As promised in the RR of Day 4, I am posting another "story" that I wrote to Elmarie about an incident that happened when I took the photo at Mt Rainier. It links to a scene that I saw 2 weeks later in Michaux State Park. “Still Pretty” Ek volg Paradise Road wat Stevens Canyon Road word en vat...

Day 7: Missoula to West Yellowstone (continued) Yellowstone is an absolute paradise for photographers. It’s best to explore with a good SLR camera rather than a simple point-and-shoot “Kiekiekakker” if you really want to capture its beauty. But hey, no matter what camera you use, you can still...

Day 7: Missoula to West Yellowstone (continued) Checking into the Hotel in West Yellowstone, I notice that the majority of the tourists are from China and Japan. I ask the young guy at reception how long it would take to drive East to West through the Park. He replies: “Normally it would take...

Day 7: Missoula to West Yellowstone Route: I90 East to Cardwell, 359 to Harrison, 287 via Ennis to West Yellowstone via 191 Last night, we stayed over at the Howard Johnson in Missoula. (We are staying over at cheap motels that we book on short notice…go figure). As we strap our bags onto...

Day 13: Joshua Tree to San Diego (continued) The day was full of surprises, including a truck that screamed outdoor adventure and an airfield bustling with gliders, taking advantage of the great thermals in the area—they call it sky-sailing around here. I was able to capture this piece of...

Day 13: Joshua Tree to San Diego (continued) We end up on Interstate 10 east, and at Banning, Vaughn and I go in different directions. I chose a scenic and twisty route through the mountains, via Idylwild and Julian to San Diego. Our agreement is to meet at the hotel, and our dinner will be...

Thanks for all the input and pointers. I found Red Beard Riding Academy's video about this on YouTube!

Day6: Walla-Walla to Missoula (continued) Vaughn introduced me to the small-town-café-culture and gave some good tips on how to spot a great location. Without exception, they provided great atmosphere and good value for money meals. Expect to be served by an experienced waitress who has a sort...

Anyone doing this in SA?
