Gators in the Glades

This is a wild gator hanging out on the side of the path we were
walking. It scared the crap out of me.

Bryan's Southwestern 2009 Roadtrip

Here is a nice view of the roadtrip I took around the American Southwest for the last 4 weeks. I logged about 8, 500 road miles plus an extra 1500 getting around the cities to see everything putting me at 10,000 miles! I visited Reno, Salt Lake City, Denver, Albuquerque, Sante Fe, Cheyenne, Lebanon, Wichita, Oklahoma, Roswell, Tucson, Las Vegas, San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and back home to Oakland. And I got to see all the scenic beuty in between.

Highlights of this trip include Swimming in Salt, Bryce Canyon, Arches National Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, The center of the United States (Lebanon), Oklahoma City Bombing Site, Roswell Aliens, White Sands National Monument, Chillen in Tuscon, Partying in Vegas and driving the Coast Highway.
