pictures from our travels

     Thank you for coming to this page. I'm sorry I wasn't able to included pictures with the Kindle version of my book, Our Semi View.  It was also cost prohibitive to included color versions of the photos in the printed book.
     Here I have posted some pictures that were in my blogs during our driving time with just a short description. Since you have probably read the story's they should make since with out too much explanation. They are not in chronological  order I tried to group them into some sort of relationship; signs, accidents, scenery  etc. Some of my pictures have a date and time in the corner some don't. That depended on which camera. We bought a new camera after a couple of years and if I used and my cell phone, there was no date posted either. Hope that doesn't confuse anyone. 
     Thank you again, Leslie
