I hope some can get to view this before it gets moved to links.

Travel in pics of the epic trip Lea Anne and I just completed. Departed Boise 9/16/2018 and returned 11/04/2018. 9,500 miles and seven weeks.

Some of the images need explanation. For example, Hannah Dustin was Lea Anne’s great...(7)...grandmother who was captured by Indians in MA in 1690. They killed her baby. One night she whacked and scalped the 8 indians and stole their Canoe to make it back to MA. That’s her house, statue, and ax head.

My purpose in posting here is to share the pics. Journey was NW from ID through MT to Teddy Roosenelt NP. Then N of lakes Superior and Huron in Ontario, and back to US at Niagra Falls. Then to Acadia NP in Maine via Moosehead Lake. Then S via Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway to Biltmore in Asheville NC. Then SW to SC beach and FL. Then back via Mammoth Cave NP in Kentucky, Lake of the Ozarks, and a blizzard in WY.

Nicely done.

Thanks. Well, it is now in links so I doubt anyone else will see.

I learned a couple of things when doing this. I need to take more images of place identifiers, e.g. National Park signs and State welcome signs. I also need to take more people pics. We stayed with many friends and relatives along the way.

I can fix the first by adding text in Photoshop, but it is time consuming.

I also need to figure out how to import the pics I took with the iPhone.

Very nice show. We have been to some of those places and would like to go back and stay a little longer. Thanks for sharing.

What a trip--I’m jealous!

Great show, great photographing. Good for you folks to be able to do this. I really enjoyed seeing your work here.

Excellent travelogue! I did recognize a few places--your opening shots at the Custer Battlefield were almost the same as some of mine.

My long auto trip was in 2005--11,750 miles over 85 days in a 1966 Mustang. I didn't create a lovely video like you did, though--my photos of that trip are hosted on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/8712554@N02/collections/72157631809934247/. It covered most of the eastern half of the US and some of southeast Canada.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful trip. You saw some wonderful scenery and it appears you had many clear, blue-sky days. Your images are terrific.

I enjoyed the slide show. We have, over several trips, covered much of the same ground. It was nice to see it all put together, recognizing scenes. I was going to comment it needs captions, at least, but you already commented that. You are correct it is work and time consuming but it does add to the enjoyment, especially if the viewer has no memories to recall. Nice job! Keep on shooting and showing!

Get one of these https://www.spytec.com/i-gotu-gt-120-gps-tracking-logger.html. You carry it with you when you're taking pictures and it logs where you are about every 15 seconds. There is PC software that allows coordination between the photo time and the location log that tells you where you were when the picture was taken. This can be a tremendous help when trying to remember what things were. It will also show a path on Google Maps that describes your travel, with the photo locations indicated. I've been using them since about 2008 and they're wonderful. There are devices to fit on a DSLR to directly input latitude and longitude into the photo EXIF, but those require that the camera be left ON all the time and that runs the camera battery down. I don't think such devices are available for smart phones, though, but they probably have their own GPS aps (I don't have one).
