In May 1999, Keith Jernigan and I went on a three-week road trip. We drove over 7,000 miles and visited 14 different states. Along the way, we visited dozens of state and national parks and attractions and took over 1,600 photos.
Here are a few of them. My favorites are of the Very Large Array (VLA) at the bottom, don't miss 'em.
