Shannon's Journal

[Shannon]

I'm working as fast as circumstances will allow right now. I have a VERY slow connection (20-35kbps/up) and another few programs to upload, plus the customs I am building. I am also planning to be driving for an 11 hour road trip down to Texas here shortly, possibly starting tomorrow. So bear with me here. Hopefully I'll be better able to get things accomplished when I get to my destination.

You are probably way past Big Bend at this point, if not, check it out-pretty cool.

I recommend not to camp out there though, with scorpions and rattlers that love to snuggle to warmth.

I am envious, it sound like a awesome trip.

I had to bypass Big Bend, but I'll be heading through Texas again since dad wants me to stop by again. So maybe I'll see it then. Scorpions, I'll catch and mount. Rattlers, meh, just kick 'em aside. They're not getting into my tent.

And yes, aside from the sore muscles, absurd hours, blisters, and the amazing work, patience and driving required to get these photographs... it really is an amazing trip. Now if only I didn't have to deal with absurd speed limits and clueless people walking into every fourth shot. lol
