Here are some thumbnails of pics taken during the Summer of 2006 (...there are some links in the descriptions you can click on, too). You can click on each thumbnail to see the full picture, then click your browser's "Back" button to return here.
Rachel on the sea bed at Hopewell Rocks at the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, Canada, home of the World's highest tides, taken in June of 2006.
Another shot of Rachel, this time stopped further North along the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia, Canada.
A shot of Mike on the shoreline looking out toward the Atlantic Ocean from the edge of the Cabot Trail.
Skip along to July of 2006 & here's Mike overlooking a section of the Badlands in South Dakota on his way from the East Coast to the West Coast & eventually Surrey (Vancouver), British Columbia, Canada.
Mike & Pops' bike (now Ann's) passing through the Badlands.
Mike hanging out with one of the local cowboys in Winthrop, Washington. ;-)
A shot of Mike during his first decent ride on his new 2007 Harley-Davidson Peace Officer Special Edition Ultra. Taken just at dusk at Plymouth harbor, that's the moon rising in the background. Within another day or so it would be a full Sturgeon Moon.
Mike & Rachel enjoying the scenery of the Quabbin Reservoir in Western Massachusetts in August.
A shot of Renee along side Mike's new Harley while they were doing a ride along the coast up to Cape Ann, Gloucester (pronouned "Glaw-ster") & Rockport, Massachusetts.
Okay, so I couldn't really do a thumbnail here and have it look right. :-) Here's Ann & Mike getting into costume for a Civil War re-enactment (Heritage Days at Lake Storey Park) in Galesburg, Illinois in August. :-)
Okay, so Mike DOES wear a suit once in a while! :-) Here he is at his Union Convention at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas in September.
Ann enjoying the wildlife at The Falmingo (Hilton).
You never know who you're going to run into in Vegas! Robin Williams ran over and declared to Mike, "My Main Man! Welcome to your party! You're tall - Where are the show girls?" as he entered the Convention hospitality room.
Truth be told, they were pretty hard to miss. ;-) And there's a saying, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!"
Ann thought that Rocky was a knockout - Quite literally! :-)
