Road Trip: Introduction

Over a year ago I signed up for a 5 day photography workshop with Don Smith in the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone.  I knew from the beginning that I would drive to the workshop and every time I looked at a map, I added a segment to the trip.  North Yellowstone didn't seem that far from Tacoma, WA so I decided that after the workshop ended, I would go see my cousin and then drive down the Oregon Coast.  I liked the idea of making a loop rather than driving back on the same roads, and I could see my other cousin and my uncle in southern Oregon.  
As it turned out, I was on the road for 24 days, traveled 4,048 miles, visited or drove across 7 states (CA, NV, ID, MT, WY, WA, OR), and took 2,605+ photos. Whew!  I have whittled the number of photos down to 750, and considering I photographed at 45 different locations, that doesn't seem like so many. 
I divided the blog according to the mains segments of my trip: Yellowstone, Grand Teton NP, the Oregon Coast, and Family.  I don't normally include this many photos (75) in a blog, but there was just so much I wanted to share.  I hope you enjoy looking through the lens of my camera.  Click on any photo to see a larger image.
