Crossing America

In July 1995, in the middle of my teaching exchange and during the northern summer vacation, we travelled from Pennsylvania west across the USA as far as Wyoming, the Rockies and the Southwest, and with a summer pass we took in taking in many of the celebrated National Parks and National Monuments.

We bought a little but comfortable tent and camping supplies. A fantastic experience.

I was a raw amateur but my memories crystal clear. Philip has made a book of the experience with far better pictures.

Literally and metaphorically a lot of water under the bridge since these were taken!
