Tom Kisko's Summer 2005 RV trip

I left Crystal River on 4/16/05, drove to Utah to get the motorhome out of storage and headed north.After 3 months in the rockies and 2 months in heading through the Great Lakes, I dropped the RV in West Virginia and got home 9/9/05. The slide show begins with my favorite 10 critter pics.
