This is what I get for buying the cheap flight |

My boading pass |

It was rainy in Boston |

The view from my seat: 4D on a Boeing 717 |

That's a big engine |

A plane taking off |

Above the rain! |

Clouds |

Puffy clouds |

Some other clouds |

Hey look, clouds! |

You can see the camera in the reflection |

There are clouds over there too |

The wing and the sun |

We were still climbing at this point |

Some neato cloud structure in the distance |

Looking down on the rain |

Yep.. clouds |

A hole in the clouds! |

The flight attendant said I could use my GPS. Which makes sense since it doesn't transmit anything |

I thought we were near Worcester... just a bit off |

A smoke stack! |

Cruising altitude! For some reason we never really approaced the typical cruising speed of 570 mph |

A coastline on one of the great lakes |

A marina? |

So many sqaures! |

Past New York now.. |

Fields |

A boat! |

Milwaukee approaches |

Lots of boats |

A school |

A nice coastline on Lake Michigan |

Coastline |

Some houses |

It's amazing how well you can see stuff on the final approach and landing |

A runway |

The terminal |

FedEx! |

My flight is the third from the top |

Inside a jet engine |

The back of an airplane |

See? Milwuakee |

My airplane, a CRJ200 |

People getting off a similar airplane |

I better not get on the wrong plane |

This plane has smaller jets |

A guy in the baggage area |

A woman loading food onto the plane |

Bringing a bridge thing up to my plane |

Note the cool heat waves behind the jet |

Some prop plane takes off |

More jet heat waves |

This guy gave me a look as I took all these pictures |

Getting on the plane |

I hope these engines work |

I was all the way in the back |

The view from my seat |

The wing |

Good to know |

The view from my seat.. again! |

Button Man is waving at me |

See? I told you it was a CRJ200 |

Apparently you can only get off the plane if it lands correctly.. |

A piece of my Professor's Cube fell under the chair and it took me like 15 minutes to get |

Ooo, baggage carousel |

It's like they read my mind |

See? Minnesota |

Now this is something new... |

Baggage carousel! |

Tilted.. |

My bag found me! |

The first picture I take of Wacko since 2002 and what's he doing? |

Wacko's got a Wiimote and he knows how to use it |

Start by pointing up.. |

Emily's turn |

Topaz gets into bowling |

Wacko's got a nice camera |

He thinks he's cool |

Wacko on a hillside |

Emily goes to check out the vent Wacko's looking at |

Wacko and Emily lift the grate up |

He wanted me to crawl down there. Needless to say, his efforts were futile |

A waterfall |

Some bridge |

Smokestacks |

A cool old mill |

Gold Medal |

The top of the building |

One of Wacko's friends climbed up there |

Nothing but the best |

A bridge |

The smokestacks from before but more zoomed out |

Geese |

Wacko looks at the ground |

Wacko looks.. somewhere else |

Cranes! |

Emily snaps some shots while Wacko looks around |

Wacko and the mill |

Emily and Wacko pose in front of Gold Medal |

Now it's my turn |

Wacko took these shots |

What's over there? |

This shot came out great, just click it. |

Emily looks around |

Emily standing in front of Gold Medal |

Emily standing in front of Gold Medal.. with slightly a different exposure |

Emily takes a few pics |

This is why you have to take sneaky pictures of Wacko |

A nice pic of some grass |

Wacko's back with his tripod |

An awesome panorama of Gold Medal and the surrounding area |

The bridge |

Some plants with Gold Medal in the background |

A similar shot |

Emily takes some pictures of the waterfall |

Now I take some pictures of the waterfall |

I like how the post cuts the water in half |

The post |

I was way too close to the water |

Looking down the water fall |

With a longer exposure.. |

An even longer exposure! You can see how the bubbles blur |

Wacko and Emily look across the water |

Another great shot of Wacko and Emily |

A water tower |

A water tower and that Pillsbury sign |

Gold Medal from a slightly different angle |

An old support |

This thing hasn't exactly withstood the test of time |

Old bridge, new bridge? |

Another big support |

Wacko and Emily check out the bridge |

With exposure to show the sky.. |

It's pretty corroded |

Emily climbs up the side |

Wacko looks around the base |

Emily checks out the scenery |

Rusty old support |

A bolt |

Wacko ventures out onto the "bridge" |

Note the sign in the background |

Wacko is a scofflaw |

So is Emily |

Now if this isn't a good desktop I don't know what is |

Gold Medal Flour! |

Another big sign |

I want some blankets |

Emily checks out this structure |

Some gross moss |

Wacko and Emily sneak behind this column thing |

A messed up old building |

A water outlet and some dripping |

Same pic but.. sideways! |

Wacko looks to see what Emily is doing |

I told him "You're going to regret that picture!" |

Neato ruins |

Emily and Wacko get nearer the edge |

What's over there? |

Lots of moss where the dripping lands |

Wacko's rented house in Minneapolis |

OMG ANTS!! |

So many ants! |

There was a ridiculous amount of ants |
