Photographic Evidence Part 4
At long last, selected pictures from Michael's camera. Thanks for dealing with all these, friend.
Click to enlarge, but note that I didn't realize how much resolution I was actually removing when I was shrinking them down in size. I apologize for a lot of these being so blurry.

Katherine rides toward the camera
I was going make a joke about Katherine being a villain from the original Batman television show with Adam West (due to the crooked camera), but maybe one person would get that

It's important to note the gross bike shorts tan line

While I don't remember exactly what was going on when this was taken, it's safe to assume from the facial expressions that Michael has had enough of my singing
The trees ate Michael :'(

We probably should have removed our helmets while in church
The Crossin' the Mississippi East-to-West Shuffle
Birds in New Orleans

The Gulf of Mexico
A safe way to cross over the bridge
I'm starting to think we're not welcome in these places

Number of tries to get this: 3

Burley is not forgotten
"Okay, so we'll take a few pictures with the three of us. Let's just stand here, because there's really no way the water is going to get to us here."
"Aw, for the love of..."
(note: this was not planned)
The bikes and Burley look out to the Atlantic and ponder what they have just accomplished
Watching election results
"It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to... Wait... That guy in the hotel room in Florida... Is he sleeping? Wow, he's going to regret missing this speech."
I made a conscious effort to not smile for this picture. What a jerk.
