Thanks for all the replies!
I can't take credit for all (or even most) of the pictures.  Maria took a
bunch of them too.  And, needless to say, we took a bunch of pictures that
didn't really come out---this a a selection of some of the best ones.

I've gone back and attached labels to all the photos in the album (
http://picasaweb.google.com/mchikina/RoadTrip#) so anyone wondering where a
particular picture was taken can check that now.

This trip in august by the way.
