I'm taking a cue from Santini with today's blog. I have no pictures of TRAM 2002, but it turns out that TRAM 2003 also coincided with my very first digital camera. I believe it was purchased for my J-term in Australia in January of 2003. Sounds right to me, anyway. That means that there is a photographic record, if small, of the 2nd family TRAM adventure. Here are some of the photos I found, in roughly chronological order:
|
The mighty truck, en route to Ortonville the day before the start. July 27, 2003. |
|
Mr. GZ, exiting the cabin my mom's cousin found for us in Ortonville. |
|
The riders departing on Day 1 - the time stamp says 6:30am on July 28th. |
|
GZ and GR at the finish that same day - the time stamp says 12:41pm. |
|
Faithful staff and the mighty truck. |
|
3 out of 4 riders at the finish on Day 2. |
|
The Millers on Miller Ave SW. Day 3. |
|
Look familiar? Christ Chapel at Gustavus, one of the places TRAM stopped in that year.. |
|
All 4 riders victorious at the final finish line. |
Looks like fun. Kelsey and I certainly had a good time. Now, I'm off to enjoy a bit more of today's beautiful November weather. First, a cat:

Baby Calvin, on Day 1 of his life with us. |

And you are correct, that is the big rubber hammer TRAM.
I do not remember Calvin being this scrawny. Cute, though.
Great photos.
