Best of "Campifornication"

As promised, here are the best, and worst parts of Eve and my voyage:

Best City: Chicago (2nd Denver, 3rd San Francisco)
- We got to see all Chicago had to offer and most of Denver. I suspect that San Fran will end up higher with prolonged exposure.

Worst city: Omaha (2nd Reno)
- Omaha tried to emulate big city life, but failed miserably. Reno is just plain seedy.

Most surprising city: Salt Lake City
- Completely shattered my preconceived notions of that town.

Favorite Restaurant: Steuben's in Denver
- After middle America cuisine, this meal was not only well-received, but quite delicious.

Favorite excursion: Yosemite (2nd Having a drink with Jim at the Hyatt in downtown Denver watching the sunset over the Rockies)
- No comment necessary. See Pictures.

Favorite leg of the voyage: Crossing the Rockies (Denver to Wyoming to Utah)
- Seeing the mountains give way to enormous canyons (and eventually salt flats) was amazing.

Favorite State: California (2nd Denver)
- It's now my home. I might as well start feeling good about where I live.

Least Favorite State: Nebraska
- Speeding ticket + hours of staring at corn = flyover state

I will post more pictures of the apartment later.

Thank you to everyone who followed my blog. It was quite the adventure and I hope you all enjoyed being along for the ride.

  3. Great job with the blog Tim. As someone who has never sent a text-message, I always assumed blogs were basically private TV stations--bully-pulpits for people with strong opinions, no information to support them, and a lot of time on their hands.
    Now I see what the form is capable of, when used to creatively share such an extraordinary experience.
    Thanks for your articulate & tech-savy trip across America--great writing, great photos!
    All best in your travels from this point on, as you start a new phase of your life, on a new coast.
