Welcome to the photo blog for David and Janet Elmore. You can find pages full of photos from our trips with Vanessa or Savanna (our van-based RV) and pages that are a record of events with lots of photos. Many of our travel photos are connected to a map at the bottom of our posts so you can see where we went and can look for photos at specific places.
Below is a list of recent posts.

We left San Diego and headed east. We are actually on the way home, but have a long way to go and a couple of planned stops to make on the way. The scenery certainly was varied as we traveled east from...
