THE OFFICIAL CALIFORNIA TRIP PICTURE POST

[DustinsDuster]

ok, so this is the official Dustin/Bill/Kelli's Trip to California Picture Post. i'll probably post more pics as they come up, these are just some of Bill's and some of mine. i still have to resize many of mine, so i'll wait to post those for a while now. anyway, here you go:

the "train station" in Mt. Pleasant:

well, thats it for now, there are more though. i'll get them uploaded sooner or later, but this should hold you all over for now. let me know what you guys think.

[Ashley]

i am soo incredibly jealous, i havent been to california yet, it looks beautiful. & that pic of you and kelli by the waterfall is like the cutest picture in the world. haha. :)

[Aephid]

I'm diggin' the blend of our pictures. Your's and mine together tell a much better story than mine alone. Good job D.

[Scott]

Theres some cool pictures in there, good job on the photography. I wonder how that old engine got there?? I must assume you forgot about my comment on getting some pictures of hott girls in bikini's then???

[DustinsDuster]

didnt see many hot girls(other than Kelli, of course) much at all, let alone hot ones in bikini's at the beach. lot of tweaked out people out there.

[Aephid]

There was one hot girl at the chinese resturaunt, and a couple at the liquer barn... and one or two at Cool Hand Luke's.
So that makes a grand total of 4 hotties in Northern California... and zero bikinis.
I did get flashed by some people rafting on the Colorado River on my train ride home...but they were too far away to get a good shot.... or to really tell if they were hot... or if they were actualy women.

yeah, it wouldnt be a week with Bill if he didnt fall in love at least once...

[slobalt]

Great pics, I like the pics from the train. I've always wanted to take a train ride.

Always wanted to see the Redwoods too. Oh well, looks like y'all had a good time.

[DustinsDuster]

thanks for the compliments everyone, i am still trying to get some more pics from Bill as well. he got a sequence of me running into the ocean thats kinda cool
