Thanks for tuning in and commenting, it made the trip even more fun. Probably won't be posting anymore, but maybe when we do some local climbing.

This has been a fantastic blog. We've really enjoyed keeping up with your travels from day to day. Looking forward to the next time. :) Pictures are awesome... can't wait till the book comes out!
Welcome back! Great blog; it was always either the first or second page I looked at every day on my trip :)
And thanks for the Road Runner link. Man, that sure reminded me of Arches NP!
It looks like you guys had a wonderful trip. I have enjoyed following along with you across the U.S. I, myself, am in Lansing, Michigan visiting my parents, so just now finished up reading you blog. I noticed that none of you photos are available. Too bad. I would have liked to have seen the rest of them.
take care, and rest up for school, Laurel.
