This blog is about part 1 of my 20,000+ mile car-camping trip with my dogs from DC to Alaska via Labrador. Part 1, in 2011, was to the end of the road in northeastern North America in Labrador and then on to Quebec and Ontario, 7609 miles. Part 2, which took place in 2012, picked up where Part 1 left off in Ontario and was supposed to extend to Banff and Jasper National Parks in the Canadian Rockies, but Leben, my male German shepherd, became paralyzed on the trip so we cut it short. We will finish the journey in 2013, when we will return to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.

Aug 10 - Some photos

Click on the links for the photos. (My real purpose in putting these photos up was to learn and practive working with the digital camera, the iPad and Photobucket. But for those interested, here they are.)

1. Erde in front seat of Defender right near the AC

2. Leben among the gear in the rear. It takes about three days to settle on organizing the back. unfortunately, this was day 2.
Note the funnel to the left blowing AC into the back.

3. Dinner inside the tent when it's raining outside

4. Siesta time indoors after dinner
The brace on Leben's leg is to support his wrist after his injury last year (biten by poisonous spider.

5. Breakfast is served outdoors

The camp photos were taken at the Clayton Park Camp we stayed at for two days, a wonderful haven for three weary travelers near Scranton PA. Copy and paste the below coordinates into Google Map (and then go to Google Erath from there) to see the precise locaiton of our camp site. (You must have Google Earth to do this.)
