Hey everybody it is Brenden Mulhern I haven't written in a while but here is a brief update. We were leaving Alaska, 20 miles from the border with Canada and were involved in a accident and truck was almost totaled and trailer sustained $13,000 in damage we were all slightly injured. Everybody has since heeled b me, if some of you remember I have a pain disease and the accident and injuries to my BAD foot and leg(of course) has caused the disease to spread. So it took almost 8 weeks to get everything fixed and we are in Valdez, AK till the 1st of June and then we will be returning to my beloved Colorado via Banff, Jasper, Glacier and Yellowstone Nat'l Parks of course. I hope to become much more active with the group and my photography when I return. You know Eric I have to TRY to give you a run for your money :razz: but I have missed interacting with you guys and hope to be back in Estes Park on or before August 15th when my kids go back to regular school. I hope to see you guys around and cant wait to get the the Rockies because nothing beats there beauty and splendor. Hey if anyone has any suggested photo spots along the route I mentioned please let me know I will be coming to the library to check the post until I get internet at the RV park.

Hmm, suggestions along a route that includes Banff, Jasper, Glacier and Yellowstone? Nothing comes to mind...

Glad you're on the mend, Brenden. Your positive attitude is pretty remarkable. Colorado will be here when you are ready to come back.

Sorry about the accident, Brenden. Have a safe trip back (and get lots of shots in Banff, Jasper, Glacier, Yellowstone, Tetons, of course).

I would say all of us are very envious of your opportunity, even with the challenges. Hang in there, man.

Don't miss the Columbia Ice Field!

Since you'll be in Yellowstone, you might as well add Grand Teton to that list.

I hope your return trip is totally uneventfull. You've been having far too much excitement. :eek:

Hi Brendan,
I don't know you yet, but just wanted to say that I will pray for your quick healing and safe return to Colorado. Also, have a great time in Banff, Jasper, Glacier and Yellowstone. :smile:
Blessings,
Kelly
