The Tourist for Ten Days.

Ten days to see the Eastern USA, who thought I would make it to seven different states and see all that I seen. Well pictures speak louder than words, so here is some of the stuff I seen.

Being a Tourist - Never thought it would happen...

Well since my last post on here I have been all over the place. Utah, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York. Rhode Island and Georgia. Most of this time has been focused on kayaking but I must admit that there has been a fair amount of tourist-type behaviour on my part even if I dont like to say so. With pressure building from home I figure I should flick up some photos to show you all what I have seen other than "rocks and water" (T, Searle aka Mum, 2008). So here are some pictures...

Westwater Canyon - same rock type as the Grand Canyon.

This is where we ran out of gas in Utah

Archers National Park - Utah
