August 17 - August 18, 2005 Omaha

I did not take a single picture in either Galena, Illinois or Louisville, Kentucky. I don't know why.
I also did not take a single picture of Port Clinton, Ohio. I only took pictures of Steve and Lisa Marie's son, Ethan. They were all very gracious hosts, and I had a lot of fun catching up with Steve. Of course, I was really, really hungover the entire drive, and probably was not very talkative or fun to be around during my brief stay. Now, if you'll please, look at the baby?
Can you believe someone let me near their kid? Frightening, isn't it?
Ooh, dark.
Oooh, distant!
Evan, Ethan, Steve.
No, I didn't drop it.
The next day, I drove home from Ohio. This is the last picture I took on my six-week-long cross-country trip. I remember the moon was hanging huge in the sky, and there was nothing more I wanted than to turn the car around and start all over again.
