TRAM 2003

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.
