C. S. Lewis

This is a God-forsaken place if ever there was one. Just look at it! No malls or freeways or auto malls or shootings. How can one live in a place like this? We got the heebie-jeebies and sped down to California pronto, hauling butt at an illegal 40 mph.
How bored were we?
Southern Oregon. The fires provided one pretty sunset.
Dan takes a not-so-flattering picture of Mark (whose last name is Ritter) picking up some interesting rocks along the highway at what we thought was Ritter Butte Lookout. Mouseover the picture to see what it really said.
Dan spends the last of the donations at a Reno slot machine (in an AM/PM mini mart, no less).
LEMONS!
(For the humor-challenged, this is a joke.)
This was going to be our last picture - the long lonely road home thing. Until Dan decided to change lanes illegally. So instead...
This picture of CHP officer Daniel Todd finishes our photo album. Coincidentally, he is a Christian (note the wwjd bracelet near his big giant gun) and had just gotten back from Spirit West Coast the day before. What are the odds!
