Outro
The trip was an amazing time for me and I got to see several sights that I think are severely underlooked in terms of natural beauty in the United States. It was great to see friends from the college era again, as well as meeting a couple interesting new people. Hopefully we can do it all again sometime. As a closer, I'm providing some top 5 lists (mainly for the amusement of those who were on the trip, although you may find some of these humorous as well).
