On the Road is a weekday feature spotlighting reader photo submissions.
From the exotic to the familiar, whether you’re traveling or in your own backyard, we would love to see the world through your eyes.
Good Morning All,
This weekday feature is for Balloon Juicers who are on the road, travelling, etc. and wish to share notes, links, pictures, stories, etc. from their escapades. As the US mainland begins the end of the Earth day as we measure it, many of us rise to read about our friends and their transient locales.
So, please, speak up and share some of your adventures, observations, and sights as you explore, no matter where you are. By concentrating travel updates here, it’s easier for all to keep up-to-date on the adventures of our fellow Commentariat. And it makes finding some travel tips or ideas from 6 months ago so much easier to find…
Have at ’em, and have a safe day of travels!
Should you have any pictures (tasteful, relevant, etc….) you can email them to [email protected] or just use this nifty link to start an email: Start an Email to send a Picture to Post on Balloon Juice
Let’s go!

Just…WOW – thank you, and please send more.
Travel well y’all – there are lots more pictures tomorrow, but I’m running out, so if you haven’t yet sent anything in, or seldom do, please send us some joy!
Especially if it’s just a picture or two, please share your world so we all can see. Let’s make our world just a little bit tighter…

Very cool.
I wrote up my trip to the art museum. And Songkran just started, so I need to find a pair of sandals STAT and find a hiding place for my phone. We’re doing a Thai cooking class in the morning. I’m very wet.

@?BillinGlendaleCA: I was obviously talking about the country-wide squirt gun fight; you’re the one whose mind went there.
Baud
@Major Major Major Major: To be fair, his mind was already there.

@Major Major Major Major: Uh huh. You left out “believe me”.

@?BillinGlendaleCA: “trust me, I’m an engineer.”

@Major Major Major Major: Heh, I’ve heard that before having spent the first 18 years of my life living with an engineer.

Anne Laurie has been slacking lately. I’m thinking of docking her pay

I’ll have some of Canyonlands NP after we ride the White Rim trail there, starting Saturday morning. Now back to packing for camping/biking for 5 people with just one 4WD to carry food, water, and camping gear for 4 days.

Have a cousin who hiked across the Olympic peninsula many years ago. At the time, that was a thing, as few had done it back then. He miscalculated his ability to make speed and distance, and ran low on food, was shivering hard from cold wet conditions when he made it to civilization.
So be careful and take plenty of high energy food and first aid supplies!
Alain, do you still have Yorktown nature pics to post? I can resend those
Heck, I have lots of pics, if you need some, just email me and I send some.
