Part I

West Coast USA in a Combi


The vehicle ...


... and Eddie.


The pilots!


Sequoia NP

Massive redwood trees.






Waiting for bears!


Yosemite NP



Breakfast overlooking Yosemite Valley.




Vernon Falls.


Cathedral Lake.


He came! Night visit by the local brown bear. He totally freaked out the English campers next door to us and they slept in their car in fear.


Lake Tahoe







Crossing Nevada



Interesting wildlife to be spotted.


Some classy establishments.


A secluded desert sunset and a perfect alignment of the Moon, Venus and Saturn. Look closely for the latter.




Starting to look wilder.




Lunch at Middlegate - the middle of nowhere.

Part II

Yellowstone NP

Bison, Buffalo, Tatunka... same beast.


Big yellow lump.


Mammoth Hot Springs.


¨The Boiling River¨(almost literal) coming to meet the much colder ¨Garner River¨. Maz finding a comfortable medium.




Old Faithful




Morning Glory Pool. You have no frame of reference here, but this is really big.


Steamy etheral landscapes.


Waking up to a snowy campsite.




Grand Tetons NP

Across Jenny Lake to the Cascade Canyon.


Deep into the Cascade Canyon.


One of the old Western churches built by the first pioneers.


Mooseing about at Jackson Hole.


A roadside van nap.


Canyon Country



The spectacular rock formations of Bryce Canyon.


¨Now that´s GRAND¨. The Grand Canyon from the north rim.


Mmmmm. Appetizing.


Vegas



Circus Circus. This is where Johnny Depp and his attorney stay in ¨Fear and Loathing¨. Unfortunately we stayed in the trailer park out the back so didn´t get the chance to flood a sunken floor room.


The ceiling of The Bellagio. There really is no where else worth staying in town... Next time perhaps.


The only tastful thing on Vegas´s strip. Bellagio fountains to the opera song ¨Con Te Partiro¨.


Heading south out of Vegas somewhere near Baker.






Joshua Tree NP

We both loved this place. There is something magical about its rocky landscape. Our final night campsite was perhaps our favorite.
