Photos 2012 Travelling Westwards

Inside the St John the Divine Cathedral at 110th St in New York City - the largest cathedral in the US and the place of spectacular music recordings - particularly "Earth Mass" by Paul Winter

Canadian Healey Willan was director of music at the St John the Divine Cathedral in New York City

The Erie Canal (great bike path!)

Fort Niagara (in US)

Fort Niagara (in US)  British Crest showing years occupied 


Times Square - New York City. Quite a small space when you compare some European Capitals (Paris, Athens, Istanbul come to mind.)

Inside the Ellis Island Museum - a fascinating history lesson on how 22 Million immigrants (particularly from Eastern Europe) were screened before being allowed to land in the United States between 1892 and 1924.
The New York Police Department guarding Ground Zero - elevated view platform and multiple cameras!
We found the Liberty Park Marina and RV Park in New Jersey which was in sight of the Statue of Liberty and a ten minute ferry ride to Manhattan Island.






Niagara on the Lake - where we saw the play "French without tears" Terrence Rattigan


Niagara falls from the Canadian shore

We were in Amish Country



"Lucy's Lair" in a National Forest Camp site. Note the slider that extends out and the bike storage on the back.

Out for a hike at  National Forest Camp site


At Cody we watched a gun fight put on for visitors every evening at 6pm

This is a spectacular museum in Cody, Wyoming - well worth a half day visit.

An exhibit at the Buffalo Bill Historic Center 

Spectacular colors at Yellowstone National Park were we camped for three nights and could have stayed longer

The Beehive Geyser in Yellowstone National Park - it lets off about once a day so we were lucky to see it.

"Old Faithful" which lets off about every ninety minutes and which all visitors to Yellowstone National Park usually see.

We saw many Bison in Yellowstone National Park

There were three herds of Elk and when we were there one dominant male had charged with its antlers a couple of cars on the road.

A spectacular view of Victoria Harbor that we viewed from the Coho ferry after we had been on the road for 59 days and covered 12,500 KM
