Interlude: On the road
posted in Fun Stuff, OmegaDad, Pop Culture, The Move |OmegaDad has been sending pictures from the Al-Can highway. Right now, I’m using a chintzy, cheesy “easy” picture editor from Microsoft, so the end result for the pictures is ell-oh-you-ess-why, lousy.
But I thought I’d share them with you anyway, and when I have access to my own laptop again, I’ll re-do the pics and re-upload them.
Firstly, we have road signs.
Welcome to the Northern Rockies:
Moose crossing:
Sasquatch crossing:
Caution! Buffalo on the road!
Then we have the real things:
A Sasquatch (alas, wooden):
Another piece of high human artistry, the Big Beaver:
A couple of “awwww”-worthy babies:
(a fox baby, then a baby moose…note the car window at the bottom of the picture. OmegaDad says that he could have swatted the baby moose on the bottom, he was that close…)
The buffalo, apparently, is much bigger than the Plains buffalo OmegaDad is accustomed to; he estimated about a third bigger?
A trio of bighorn sheep.
And, in closing, some just plain drop-dead gorgeous scenery…Muncho Lake:
An unnamed river:
My cousin, also visiting GrannyJ, when viewing these pictures told me, in a dire, warning voice: “You’re going to be there a loooong, loooong time!”
OmegaDad wants me roadtripping with him. I want to roadtrip with him. Looks like a lot of fun!
