A 9 week, 6,000+ mile road trip from our home in Montreal to the East Bay area of California and back again. Camping, staying with friends and family, backpacking, and berthing on a boat in Berkeley - exploring and visiting people in Colorado, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alberta. Driving through (and sometimes visiting) in Ontario, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Saskatchewan, North Dakota, and Minnesota.
