    Actually yeah we did! The commute from SF down to SmugMug HQ was a bit much, and I needed to be here more than just 1-2x a week.

    Ooooh, good Korean places around? I've found one good jajangmyun place up in SF (on Geary) but haven't explored any in the south bay. Definitely drop me a note and hook a sistah up! lol3.gif

    I've always thought there were a lot of Dgrinners in the area, but scarcely a time (apart from the 5-year party over a year ago) when we've gotten together. lol3.gif

    Ian I'd be shocked if you said you'd never done this yourself!

    What I should have said was it's a wonderful way to see the country.

    I've done the SF -> CHI trip in winter, CO in the summer and several other longer trips. It's awesome!

    Great photo essay and wonderful intro!

    I moved from TX to CA a couple decades ago to take a new job. The pictures were took are pre-digital and "somewhere in a box". Your story brought back lots of memories.

    I haven't seen anybody say this yet so, Welcome to California! And, Welcome to Silicon Valley! :D

    I was thinking about that last night after finding this thread. :D

    We caught the last day of a hot air balloon festival in New Mexico (mass assent happens on the last day) and had a very brief trip to the top of the Grand Canyon. Nothing else scenic along the way though and my abilities with a camera back then were REALLY bad. rolleyes1.gif

    If I can find 'em, I'll scan 'em.

    A wonderful record of what looks like a dream, but emotional, trip. As a "Brit" Route 66 is something we all want to do "one day". You have actually got out there...and done it!!
