Thanks for sharing. (woohoo! first post!)

Wil, your links to the gallery pics in this post don't seem to work - did you put in the wrong url?? It is very late, maybe you were too tired ;) Go to bed!

Cool stuff... needed something to break up the web coding this late (early?). Just wanted to say hi.

So, um, hi. (waves)

Ahhhh, billboards. The question is - did you see...The THING? I saw The Thing. It was southern Arizona though, and closer to the Californian border than the New Mexico border, so you probably didn't go past it. But it's truely...A Thing. You pay a dollar to see it. At a rest stop - well, more of a cheesy tourist shop really. I love road trips with odd stops at strange things along the way - the jackrabbit photos were wonderful.

Looks like you're having a great time with your wife & friend in Vegas.

Heck...who couldn't have a good time in Vegas there's all kinds of crazy fun things to do there.

When you went in the Wagon Wheel, did you tell them Large Marge sent ya?

Great to see pictures of a road trip. Wil's road trip no less! Why'd you give the money back man? :)

Next time you go on a cruise, take me with you!

Really beautiful pictures. It's so nice of you to share with us. :)

~nikki~

I guess the hamsters powering the Internet provider here in Montana aren't running fast enough...The Vegas pics aren't working...I guess I'll have to use my imagination! Heck. That's even better than real pictures.

I used to live in Flagstaff... The Arizona photos bring back old memories. (sniff) Thanks for posting them!

yeah, check out fark..

Love the F. U. unicef picture. Thank you so much Wil "making the world safe for geeks" Wheaton.

Wil, in your mug at the top of your page, it's a red and white background. Mowimy po Polsku?

Awesome, Wil! A few years ago I helped some friends move to Arizona from Indiana, and we followed Route 66 most of the way. It's cool to see the rest of the trip out to California. I have some great photos from my trip, too.

Wow, this was cool. I recently got back from a long roadtrip of my own. I came back from New Mexico along the same route you took out, so your pictures are like my roadtrip, but backwards. There truly are some really beautiful landscape out there.
Meteor Crater is one of my favorite spots on the trip. The big rock (the one you say you can't remember if it came out of the crater) is indeed a piece of the meteor that made the crater. However, it wasn't found in the crater, but outside it on the surrounding land. In fact, NONE of the meteor fragments found to date came from inside the crater. The meteor exploded on impact, and all the fragments littered the area for 5 miles around the crater.
It's too bad you didn't get to take the rim tour... it's pretty cool. You walk about a quarter of the way around the rim.

Cool pics, Wil. My favorite out of the Fark thread is the one where you're standing next to Marine one, giving our Idiot In Chief the universal "I think you suck arse" sign as he climbs aboard. Perfect fit, don't you think?

My husband and I took Route 66 on our honeymoon from Tulsa to L.A. five years ago, and stopped at all of the tourist traps and sideshows along the way. Thank you for bringing back pleasant memories!

Woo! Thanks, Tim!

Check out my eleet use of the strike tag. Rock.

Great pictures! I love the drive through Northern AZ.

I am still (patiently) waiting for the pictures from the Vegas con in August. I want to see how dorky I look (and how hot Brandi looks, of course).

hey wil, great photos. i love being able to share other people's photo collections. i recently came back to the UK, after 7 months in the USA, where we travelled a LOT!! it was great, and seeing your pictures brought back a load of great memories....thank you so much!

Happy to see some of the New Mexico pictures posted. Just wanted to make a couple of comments. The ring structure is a Stargate. Actual, I think that it is a sundial, but I'm not positive. Also, the balls on the bull are normal for New Mexico balls. We grow them big out here. Something to do with the radiation from Los Alamos. Hope that you can make it our way again someday, stay awhile and visit some other parts of the state.

Heh. Amanda, those pictures are on the computer now. I'll upload them AND ComiCon when the Roadtrip is done.

Sweet!

Oh and what's a 'nija monkey?'

Maybe a nija monkey is like a nilla wafer?

Mmmm, monkey.

Mmmm, Nilla Wafer. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) :)

The town you forgot the name of (on the Alaska cruise) is Juneau. That building just behind the ship deck, atop a concrete garage, is the library - the prettiest one I've ever seen.

Once we were standing ashore right near where your ship is, looking at a yacht we knew was chartered by the Reagans; my husband was stationed in Juneau with the US Coast Guard, and had insider knowledge. Nancy Reagan was on the deck taking in the same view as that picture, when our four month old starting waving around in her backpack. Nancy waved back.

That's my only Endearing Moments With Republicans story. It's possibly the only one in existance.

I lived in the Mendenhall Valley in Juneau, in sight of that glacier you hiked around.

Wil,
Looks like great trips. You may need an ice pack for that farking finger.

Hey, Wil - did you know that you've been suggested as a presidential candidate?

Well, sort of, anyway.

Just thought you might like to know. :)

*sigh* I am such a geek. Take a couple days off of work and you realize things you just don't want to come to terms with. I AM A GEEK! I found this out by actually finding out where you were with just the pic of your GPS dealy and the lattitude and longitude. Even my fiance says i'm a nerd!

Wil,

Your trip to Vegas is tempting me to make a return visit there myself. My wife and I both stay at Paris each time we go. She loves the shops and the promenade, while I really enjoy their casino.

For that cheap buzz that really makes you feel like a degenerate gambling local, there's nothing better than a few rounds of Keno at Bally's.

And then that Paris buffet is a King Crab's worst nightmare. I would consider staying in downtown if the pillows didn't smell like they're lined with cheap tobacco leaves.

Ahh, I'll probably make it out there just before Christmas.

That was the best pic to have the minions Photoshop! Ahhh... everyone did the best job and that stress pain in my shoulders went away for the duration of my browsing.... it really did make the pain go away! Thanks, Wil! (and especially thanks to those with enough time to make funny pictures that make me laugh out loud) I needed that!

I don't know about fliping off big bird, but most that other stuff is overrated!
