Denise and I and our friend David Hale are traveling to the West Coast during two-and-a-half weeks of August 2003. Here's a subjective record of our journey.

A warning: some of these pages have a lot of photos on them, so it may take some time to download if you're using a modem. I try to make it clearer by listing how many photos are on each page. Be patient. They're worth the wait.
