Rejoice, people, your beloved NetDanzr is back!

I have just returned from a wonderful trip across the US. Following the lead of others, I'd like to say a few words about my trip, and share a few pictures. The photos were scaled down to a size that should be comfortable even for dial-uppers.

I started in Aspen, CO, and made my way up to Bozeman, MT. My first stop were the Grand Tetons, where I hiked up the Cascade Canyon:


After that, I stayed a few days in Bozeman, going down to Yellowstone every day. While the Old Faithful geyser was impressive, I spent more time hiking: up Mt. Washburn, down to the waterfalls, and across the plains to some thermal springs:


My next stop was the Black Hills, but before that, I visited the Little Big Horn and Devils Tower. I don't understand how anybody could feel sorry for Custer for conducting such a huge blunder, though. Devils Tower was even more impressive than what you get to see in The Close Encounters of the Third Kind:


Once in Black Hills, Mt. Rushmore was a must, as was the Needlass Highway, Jewel Cave and Wind Cave. The four guys at Mt. Rushmore were photogenic, no matter which angle I have chosen:


From there, I made my way east, stopping in the Badlands. Sorry I don't offer a more revealing picture with you, but the Badlands are something you must experience yourself. They are by far the most beautiful thing I have seen on this trip:


After that, I was driving for two days, till I arrived in Buffalo. I spent the previous night near Chicago, where I witnessed a street race. I got immenselly pissed off - those damn cars were so loud I could not sleep. Anyway, here's the obligatory Niagara falls picture:


For those 11 days, I was completely cut off the civilized world. I refused to connect to the Internet, I never turned on my cell phone, and the only channel I watched was the Weather Channel. Anyone cares to tell me what was going on here?

I can tell you what's going on here: You made a spelling mistake in the topic's title! In reference to your ICQ profile, it should have been "Guess Who's back"

Looks like all you saw on your trip was mountains. The second to last photo looks indeed best by far! A very inviting athmosphere

Well, I was reffering to Eminem's song, not to my ICQ profile .

And as for the mountains, that what I went there for. My route took me through a few large cities - Chicago, Cincinatti, etc., which I completely ignored...

Those are some sweet pictures you have there... looks like it was worth the trip!

Tuss

Welcome back! Nice pictures you took on your trip...


How did you spend the nights then? Did you camp somewhere in the wilderness?

Now I want to see it, and knowing I will probably never just makes me feel bad.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed yourself, and welcome back

Tuss: More than worth it . I am already planing a trip for the next year to Grand Tetons. I want to stay there longer: maybe a week or two, and do the really long hikes.

Tapuak: I stayed in the cheapest motels I could find. All of them had TV, but the only thing I watched was the Weather Channel to know what to expect the next day.

Delos: I may post some more images tomorrow. I've got too many of them, so selecting the proper ones is a pain...

And here are some of my trip statistics:

Miles traveled - 4,354.5
Miles hiked - around 50
Gallons of gas burned - 186.41
Mileage - 23.36 miles per gallon
Pulled over by cops - 0
Miles hiked - around 50
Gallons of water drunk - 3
Cups of coffee (12oz) drunk - 32
Consecutive days without a beer - 9
Pictures taken - 1,172
Pictures kept - 351

You forgot one fact: Miles hiked - around 50

Huh...?

Just wanted to make sure nobody misses this

Huh...?

Yeah, but what's thereason for people not to miss it?

That is for you to know - I just supported your own priorities

Whatever

...or was there some further fiend that nudged your arm?

I've got a strong impression that I'm still missing something here

Just noticed myself that I had used a phrase in my second-to-last post which reminded me of a famous classic quote - that is why I completed it with my last post

You put it down twice.

Many thanks, Delos! Now I know what Mr Creosote was talking about...
