Introduction

A start, a journal written by Rover...

Greetings and bounces!

Denise said that I really should introduce myself before I start talking about our trip. My name is Rover. I'm a little red dog, and I travel with Denise. I jumped into her panniers just after she started her journey across America on two wheels, and I've been traveling with her ever since. I contributed a couple of journal pages on our trip to Death Valley late in 2007, and you know what? I decided that creating pictures with words can be fun.

I've been whispering to Denise every day, telling her that I want to write a whole trip journal, not just a couple of pages. This trip is only three days, so I figure that this is a good journal for experimenting. Don't you think it's a good idea? This way Denise can concentrate on taking pictures, and I'll work on stringing all of the words together. Oh, this is going to be so much fun!




Oh look!

I was playing with our baby computer - an ASUS Eee - and I thought I'd see if I could grab a photo of me sitting next to Denise's big camera. And look, you can see a reflection of the screen with a picture of me and the camera in the camera lens.

Funny...



This is really a better picture of me. Denise took this one as we were tramping up Mosaic Canyon in Death Valley National Park.
