Actual Progress on the Horizon

The mini road trip didn't happen, largely because of money/gas prices concerns. I am taking a not so mini-road trip in a few weeks. I'm driving a friend of a friend's car out to San Francisco and then flying back. My route goes west from Charlottesville to Kansas City, meanders through Kansas, cuts Southwest past Denver going through Las Vegas, and ends by going up the coast of California. I of course have lots of National Park stops on the agenda, although I'm not going to have much spare time. Hopefully I'll find some time to blog from the road and post some pictures.
