Operation Seattle to KC 2008

There are so many pictures and mostly of landscapes. I'll just post a few of my favorites.

Day 1: Seattle to Bozeman, MT



Goodbye Washington.
Palm trees? In Montana?



We crashed on Chris Robinson's livingroom floor. I conquered yet another CrossFit affiliate: Crossfit 4800, Bozeman. Chris served us rare cooked carne and veggies and we entertained eachother with pleasant conversation about books, movies, and life in general. Chris' nurse friend Jeane Hoffman from San Fran shared the evening with us.



Day 2: Bozeman to Buena Vista, CO
The sun rose as we entered Yellowstone National Park

Geysers! Geisers? Geesers? Geezers?

Acacia loved it:)

Old Faithful Geyser. Not so faithful. We were there a whole hour before it exploded and couldn't wait around because we had to get going. We grabbed some souveneir shop cafe and hit the road.
Breakfast
Passport stamp from a souveneir shop:)


The sun set as we ended our 14hr+ day in Buena Vista, Colorado. We met up with Acacia's friend Amy Laughlan and we chatted as we walked through the neighborhood in the dark.

Day 3: Buena Vista to Kansas City, MI

In Kansas we saw signs saying "Come to our town to see the biggest groundhog in the world!" and "See a real rattlesnake!" and "Come see the 2 headed cow and 6 legged steer, Next Exit!" We weren't fooled but we got a good laugh out of it. Kansas isn't as boring as I thought. Mr Rundle told Aimee and I later that the tallgrass praire around Manhattan, Kansas is a rare geography and we also learned that about six inches under the prairie grass is solid limestone. That is why much of the land is not farmed.
We were a little bored because the road went on straight into infinity, so we didn't really take any good pictures.
We pulled up to the Rundle's residence in Kansas City at about 6 pm, Central time- stoked. Mrs Rundle stepped outside and warmly welcomed us into her home.
Time for: Dragon Camp June 9-13
