An Assortment of Popular Images from Road Trip 1973

14 images Created 3 Sep 2009

A smattering of images from my 1973 summer long road trip. It starts from New England to the mid West Coast via mountains, canyons and deserts, up to Vancouver and back through Canada ending on the coast of Maine. More images from this 10 weeks of 18 National Parks, some cities and a lot of miscellaneous back country will be added along the way. My companions and I are working on an illustrated compilation of our "Summer of 1973 Road Trip" You may inquire about this project by email.
