Back to Dr. Mad Max Around Town
USA and BC Holiday 2011
Here is a brief look a our car trip. We started in August driving to Toronto, Morpeth and then crossing the AMbassador Bridge to Chicago. From there we went to Omaha and Lincoln, Ne. Then on to Laramie, Wy. Salt Lake City was great and we stayed a couple days before hanging in Sparks, Ne. Reno sucked. Then it was San Francisco, Sacramento, Eureka, Grant's Pass, Portland, Or, and Seattle before going to Vancouver, Sidney and Duncan on Vancouver Island before going on to Tofino. Heading back we went to Whistler, and then on to Kirkland and Edmunds Wa then headed home via Missoula, Jamestown,ND, Minneapolis, Beloit, Chicago, and then back across the Ambassador Bridge to Chatham, Toronto and home. More than 2 months of fun.
