Embrace the new

On September 20, 2006 I drive off into the Sunset. I'm leaving Buffalo for good. Packing all my worldly possessions in the back of a rented vehicle, I'm hitting the road and driving west. I won't stop till I get to Portland Oregon. When I get there, there is nothing certain. I sort of have a place to stay. I'm sure I'll be able to get some sort of employment. Nothing is certain though, nothing is carved in stone.

Along the way I'm sure to have minor adventures. Hopefully none of them involve blood or physical pain or finanacial hardship.




I'm leaving Buffalo behind, but as I drive west I am driving into the unknown.




Along the way I intend to visit the Badlands in South Dakota.



I also am going to see Yellowstone National Park.

I will be driving by myself, enjoying my solitary adventure. However, I will occasionally post photos here with my camera phone. So you might be able to enjoy my trip with me.



This is the Portland skyline with Mount Hood in the background.




This is Hell's Canyon. It looks closer to heaven to me.




This is the Oregon coastline. I have never seen the Pacific Ocean.



I'm totally excited about my future. I have so much to look forward to.

Nice! Hope you get a clear day in Portland so you can see all the mountains around there, Helens and Hood and .. Jefferson? I can't remember, but you should be able to see at least three on a clear day. :)

cheers
