The drive tends to be the hardest part of any trip I ever take. But, it’s the necessary evil if you are going to use an automobile to travel. Today, I began my annual summer photo expedition and it involved a 15 hour/998 mile drive from Little Rock to just west of Denver. This year’s expedition will take me to Glacier National Park in Montana, but I’m going to make a couple of pit stops along the way. The first stop will be to Mt. Evans tomorrow. I plan to climb to the top and hopefully photograph mountain goats that call this place home. From there, I’ll make my way to Yellowstone and then eventually to Glacier. All of this will involve driving, but I got my hardest day out of the way today! It was a rather uneventful drive. I had great weather for 99% of the way with only a small thunderstorm in Hays, Kansas that slowed me down a bit, but it helped wash off the thousands of bugs that were mashed on my windshield. I didn’t get a chance to do any real photography today, but here is a photo I took with my Canon G10 while driving on I70 in Colorado. Check back tomorrow for another update!
