 James making a weird face |
 Me making a weirder face |
 Why did they even make the bottom left dial? |
 Starting the trip! |
 Dad is driving |
 A rest stop! |
 I was reading some printouts on orbital dynamics |
 Dad at the rest stop |
 Some really creepy trash recepticles |
 The roads are getting worse and worse.. |
 Action shot |
 No cell phone network! |
 A river! |
 Same river |
 Dusty roads |
 Becky's having fun |
 Entering the Allagash! |
 Some sort of lake? |
 Yeah probably |
 Lake? |
 The road continues |
 The back of the truck was a little dirty |
 Official arrival time. Travel time was about 9 hours |
 Improving Dad's rear window |
 I wonder who wrote this.. |
 Now here is a sign you don't see every day.. |
 Dad readies the key |
 An animal track! |
 Inside the cabin! |
 It's dark inside right now |
 Nice little sitting area |
 Dad is psyched |
 Moose antlers? |
 A boat! |
 Another view of the cabin |
 I found this book |
 The stairs |
 Some hot sauce we found |
 Yikes |
 Hey I know that guy |
 A deer! |
 Becky came prepared |
 So did I |
 This is crap I had to read.. The Things They Carried wasn't bad |
 Provisions! |
 My bed! |
 Dad's charcoal thinger |
 Sure is smokey |
 Nothing like a barbeque in a barbeque |
 The view from the porch |
 My pants smelled gross from bring crumpled up so I tried to smoke them |
 Hanging out! |
 A shakey thumbs up |
 Mmm, marshmallows |
 Becky strikes a pose |
 My setup was a little precarious |
 As was Dad's grip on reality.. |
 This is apparently an old school toaster |
 And this is an old school heart attack |
 The view from the sitting area |
 Dad holds what appears to be a piece of an animal |
 Gotta move stuff out of the way! |
 We had to drive around this one |
 This textbook had no idea what was coming |
 Shooting gallery! |
 King Tut had it coming |
 I shot this quarter! |
 The quarter came flying back and nearly hit me.. so we stopped shooting quarters |
 I made a happy face! |
 The other side is pretty sharp |
 Dad sets up some more targets |
 Digging out the bullets |
 A few made it through |
 We showed the Industrial Revolution who's boss |
 Shooting lead made for some pretty interesting shapes |
 Neat! |
 This headline just cracked me up |
 Dishes! Notice something missing? |
 Apparently "shift" keys haven't made it this far north.. caps lock sure has.. |
 Bacon! |
 Becky gets some reading done |
 Relaxing |
 Oh jeeze |
 The view from the top of the stairs |
 Becky lying on the couch |
 Dad got his own room |
 Lunch! |
 We've got lots of fans.. |
 Pancakes! |
 The good stuff |
 These pancakes seem suspicious.. |
 Dad throws a throwing knife |
 Becky wasn't interested |
 But we eventually got her to give it a shot |
 Dad with the cabin |
 This photo totally wasn't staged or anything |
 She was a real sport to sit there while we threw knives at her |
 Dad out by the board we were throwing a knife at |
 A chipmunk! |
 Look at him! |
 He even stayed while we opened the door! |
 Hanging out in the living room area |
 I show that safety sign who's boss.. and some soda cans |
 Dad and Becky took my camera for a walk |
 They found a weird plant |
 And some berries |
 And another plant |
 A bunny! |
 They also found another cabin |
 And apparently broke into it |
 The kitchen! |
 The beds! |
 A nice trail |
 A cool shot of a dock |
 The dock |
 The other cabin |
 Our outhouse was nicer |
 A cabin? |
 Beds.. |
 Dad took some weird pictures |
 Beds.. |
 Couch |
 Kitchen |
 Shelves |
 Another dock |
 Another cabin |
 A patch of ash? |
 Or something? |
 Who knows |
 I have no idea |
 Becky on the road! |
 Someone took a piece of Dad's newspaper! |
 This one was my idea |
 In case you didn't guess |
 What could go wrong? |
 It was actually a lot slower than I expected |
 The remains |
 Carnage |
 Match hell |
 I stacked them up afterwards |
 The moon over the lake |
 Moon! |
 Becky and Dad set off for some twilight canoeing |
 Bye guys! |
 I left a light on the dock so they could find the way back |
 Cause it was dark out! |
 Moon! |
 Another shot of the moon |
 Burning paper plates in the oven |
 Fire!! |
 Becky does some dishes |
 We only had one die, so I made another one out of origami |
 Monopoly! |
 I think I was the hat |
 Mad monies |
 Somehow a bullet worked its way into this.. |
 Becky loves Monopoly |
 Two and a half hours later.. |
 Monopoly endgame |
 Hrm. I guess it really does take three hours |
 If you look really carefully you can see a squirrel in there |
 No comment |
 Dad got in the back to help pack the car |
 Washing the windshield |
 The back fills up! |
 Becky cleans the inside |
 Don't forget to wash your hands! |
 A broken logo.. or modern art? |
 Becky poses in front of the cabin |
 All three of us pose! |
 It was a fun weekend |
 A river on the way out |
 Another river.. or something |
 Someone totally shot this sign |
 Dad and Becky check out another river |
 See? |
 White water! |
 It was a neat river |
 Look at all the white water |
 Dad loves nature |
 Becky's a fan too |
 Dad and Becky pose with what I believe is Mount Katahdin in the background |
 River and mountain |
 Me and Becky posed too |
 Yes, we are in fact related |
 River! |
 Me and Dad. Now all permutations are complete |
 The mountain again |
 I'm pretty sure it's Mount Katahdin |
 The creepy entrance to the pig farm's halloween thing |
 A goat chilling |
 Becky pets the goat |
 What do you want? |
 This goat is in trouble |
 Another goat |
 Sheep! |
 Chickens! |
 Jimmy Downey and Dad talk about something |
 Becky feeds some goats |
 Goats love food |
 True story |
 A horse! |
 Farm.. |
 More horses.. or ponies.. or something |
 Don't jump! |
 Brandon saw this and said "Dumb goat.. like a sheep could go any faster" |
 Weird goat |
