I thought it would be interesting to share my 5 favorite and least favorite moments of the trip. Let’s start with the negative so we can end this on an up note.
5 Least favorite things about our trip:
- Missing my mom’s surprise 85th birthday party. Sorry mom!
- Lori and I getting sick on the road. It’s never fun to be sick but when travelling it is especially hard.
- Problems and worries about the van. I worried everyday something would give out. It finally did resulting in a $700 repair bill and 2 nights in a motel.
- No decent photos of Grizzlies or northern lights.
- The incredibly long days of driving. Mind numbing really.
5 Favorite moments:
- The moment I photographed the barren land caribou north of the Arctic Circle. A dream come true.

- Camping in Grasslands National Park during a thunderstorm. The light was fantastic and I howled and the coyotes answered!

As we rest up for our next adventure, we will work our way through the many thousands of new images. I will continue to share as we go.
