Wisconsin to Oregon, camera sitting shotgun

I just drove from Wisconsin to Bend, OR en route to Portland where I'm starting law school in a couple weeks. Took I-94 to western ND, then north to US-2 through Montana to Glacier National Park. From there, South through Montana and Idaho to Oregon. Tried to make plenty of time for the camera, here's my favorites:

Slept in my car in a North Dakota field the first night, this was the scene when the sun woke me up:

Western ND had a bunch of sunflower fields, quite an amazing thing to see hundreds of acres of sunflowers in one place.

A couple of the tracks along US-2. Pretty desolate area, nothing but wheat fields, and apparently a lot of methamphetamine addicts

I camped just east of Glacier and got up at 4am to get some sunrise photos in the park. It was pretty smoky from nearby wildfires, but it made for some interesting gloominess to the scene.

those are beautiful
I like 1, 3, 13 and 15 the best (if I counted right....13 being the lake and 15 being the berries)

I do like the lake one, although at full size you can see that it's not really all that sharp, and there's a big ol' dust spot in the lower left, but it's still a really beautiful scene. The camera didn't really do the scenery much justice.

I thought there was some rule about a max of 8 pics per post...

You should have split this into a couple of threads, or only post your best two or three / the ones you wanted comments on.

You should have taken the picture before you picked those blackberries!

I also like #3 and the lake.

Nice series. Great way to make a long drive interesting.

The lake shot is my fav. I Love the mood and colors. It is a great comp. I would exterminate the dust though. Die sensor dust!

Welcome to Oregon

What a great trip. I have wanted to drive that area of the country for years. I have been to many of those places, but to do it all in one trip would be wonderful. Glad you were able to capture all of it with your camera.

I love #4 (wish that private property sign was not there though, you should removed it before you ate the blackberries ) and #7 - the barn/broken windows.

Oregon is the capital of Meth use, in case you didn't know. There was a TV special about drug/meth use a while back.

Sorry, didn't know about any rule regarding number of pics per post. Gotta remember not everybody has broadband.

I just discovered, about an hour ago, that my new house has the same blackberries growing around the yard, plus a fig tree!

These are some great shots Logan! Thanks for sharing these!
