Thanks Brunch.

Thanks Rock, have done many parts of Rt. 66, but this is Paria, Utah off of Highway 89. Stopped here on two of my road trips. Ananya accompanied me on the second trip through here.

Hey OOS, thanks. Still working. Fortunately, my work lets me take winter leave and I combined it with vacation time.

Thanks Darksun, still more to follow.

I'm heading out on my trip monday, but also with a single silicone lady as a passenger. I think I will be doing the similar trip that you did this year..

Hey Mishka, safe travels. Hopefully, won't be too hot in Quartzsite. Highly recommend driving east to Hwy 89A, go north through Jerome and Sedona. Great scenery. A shot of Annalucia and I camping out at Dome Rock, Quartzsite.

Thanks VLV, have plenty, though that will be posted on the other road trip. This trip definitely has more greenery than desert.

Absolutely, especially the places you select, can't wait to see those ones in the rocks, I can imagine you carefully lugging her into position over the loose ground, must have been difficult.

I think this photo gives you an idea as you can see my red van in the background.

Hey Mr Ducati, goal was to drive the Olympic peninsula. Annie May isn't much of a city girl, so Seattle was out of the question.

Will post more photos of Cape Flattery, Neah Bay in a couple of hours. Stay tuned.

Ah, Utah! The teaser pic had me wondering, but now that I see more of the terrain and vegetation I wouldn't have guessed Painted Desert. Great photos, too. What fun a road trip would be, but I can't do one for the foreseeable future.

Hopefully, that you will have an opportunity, soon. At least you live in an area that most will take road trips to get to.

Today, are some photos of our visit to Cape Flattery, the Northwestern most point of the continental United States on the Washington State Olympic Peninsula.

The pathway to the vista point about a one mile hike. Wasn't going to carry Annie May's fat ass that far, so she stayed in the van. She not happy.

The land across the sound is Canada, Victoria Island. Couldn't visit Canada. Annie May forgot her passport.

I don't know if it is on purpose that these are composed so the natural beauty takes precedence, with Annie May there to admire a different kind of beauty when you are ready, but that's how I am seeing them and I am very impressed. Unrelated, the red paint job makes the minivan look almost badass, I am surprised more people do not choose that color.

Thanks Studio, well after the Olympic Peninsula, we headed back to Oregon to check out Bend and headed to the top of Mount Bachelor.

The babe and landscapes are such a beautiful combination, and the posing is spot on, she really does look like she is talking to you in the last two.

Beautiful girls in beautiful settings. A truly inspirational series, Panther68!

between Annie May sitting by my side and me not listening to the Google Map gal's directions, it was like having a real girlfriend in the van.

Could anyone other than Christopher Walken have pulled that off?
