			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yeah&#8230;this is the end of the story. The last 2 days. Next camp: Petaluma. We are out of El portal at 8am. We have a stop in Sacramento, where we have lunch in the State Capitole garden. We go in, for a quick pic at Schwarzenneger office. Tizi scares us (and the security) with her 2 knives!  Don&#8217;t do it again <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  We arrive early at the Petaluma KOA. Really nice one, same as 2006. Pool, jacuzzi, etc etc&#8230; So, with nothing special to do, we jumped in the pool &amp; enjoyed the jacuzzi! We had dinner out, at Applebee! It was good! We then made a quick &#8220;get drink&#8221; stop ! Back at camp, time for speeches, and drinks! Thanks to Winnie, we again had a great fire. The last one&#8230; It was a good evening again!</p>
<p>The last day&#8230; As usual, we start with cleaning the equipment. But we lost some time this morning with the T shirt situation. We decided to have transamerica T shirts printed. But it took some time to get them done&#8230; Still, we weren&#8217;t too late. So, out of camp, go go go to San Fran! First stop, Marin Headlands. Weather was windy, so no fog this time. We had a nice view of Golden gate, Alcatraz &amp; San Francisco. Civic center; city hall. And Lombard street. Sun. Noon, that&#8217;s it&#8230; The end. Brandon drops us at the hostel. Almost immediately, Winnie, Anja, Tim left to get their flight. Stephan goes to his hotel, Niels to his friend, so are Tizzi &amp; Roman.  I spent my last afternoon with Jacki, Lindsay &amp; Elayna. Relax. Pier 39, Fisherman&#8217;s wharf, Ghirardelli square&#8230; I just was there, enjoying it so much, not thinking about rushing from one place to another for pics&#8230; No, it was quiet, sunny, San Francisco. I felt home, with cool people. The dinner was fun, at first. Brandon told us about a Chinatown place called &#8220;Sam Wo&#8221;. Yep. Really fun! Not organised, but fun. It took some times to get the food, but we cancelled the drinks&#8230; Back at the hostel, it was time to say&#8230; good bye. I hate that. Really. I hate starting the tour slowly, and realise late it was so much fun. So. Good bye everyone.</p>
<p>Et oui, c&#8217;est la fin de l&#8217;histoire. Les 2 derniers jours. Prochain camping: Petaluma. On quitte El Portal à 8h. On stoppe à Sacramento, on dîne dans les jardins du Capitole. On rentre ensuite dans celui-ci pour quelques photos dont une du bureau de Schwarzenneger. Tizzi nous fait une belle frayeur (et à la sécu aussi) en entrant avec 2 couteaux! A ne plus faire&#8230; On arrive tôt au camping, le KOA de Petaluma. Un chouette: piscine, jacuzzi, jeux, kitchenette, etc etc. Le même qu&#8217;en 2006. Comme on avait rien de spécial à faire, on a piqué une tête dans la piscine, avant de se relaxer dans le jacuzzi. On dînait à l&#8217;extérieur, on est allé au Applebee local. Sur le retour, on a fait un arrêt ravito boisson rapide. De retour au camp, il était venu le temps des discours, et puis;&#8230; On a fêté! Grâce à Winnie, on a eu un beau dernier feu de camp. Oui. Une belle soirée.</p>
<p>Le dernier jour&#8230; Comme d&#8217;habitude, on commence par nettoyer l&#8217;équipement. Mais on a aussi perdu un peu de temps. On a décidé de faire imprimer des T shirts &#8220;Transamerica&#8221;. La commande a été un peu longue à réaliser, donc&#8230; On a vite embarqué, et direction San Fran. Premier arrêt à Marin Headlands. Le temps était avec nous: vent, pas de brouillard et même soleil. On a donc pu apprécier le golden gate, Alcatraz &amp; San Francisco. Civic center; City hall. Lombard Street. A midi, ça y est&#8230; La fin. Brandon nous dépose à l&#8217;hostel. Quasi de suite, le groupe se sépare: Winnie, Anja, Tim partent prendre leur vol; Stephan se rend à son hôtel, Niels, Tizzi et Roman rejoignent leurs amis. Je passe la dernière après midi avec Jacki, Lindsay &amp; Elayna. Tranquille, relax. Pier 39, Fisherman&#8217;s wharf, Ghirardelli square. J&#8217;étais cool, j&#8217;en profitais. Pas envie de courir pour prendre X photos. Non. Juste une après midi, au soleil, San Francisco. Je me sentais à la maison, avec des filles cool. Le souper était cool et fun aussi, au début. Brandon nous avait parlé d&#8217;un endroit dans Chinatown, &#8220;Sam wo&#8221;. Oui, c&#8217;était marrant. Très marrant, mais pas organisé du tout! Il a fallu du temps pour manger, on a annulé la commande de boisson&#8230; De retour à l&#8217;hostel, il était quasi temps de se dire&#8230; au revoir. J&#8217;ai horreur de ça. Réellement. Ca m&#8217;énerve de démarrer en mode mineur, et de me rendre compte à la fin que c&#8217;était vraiment top. Bref&#8230; Au revoir à tous.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Again, we had an early start here in Reno. Wake up at 6 am! But for once, we had a great breakfast: eggs, sausages, etc&#8230; At 8, we were on our way to the first stop : Lake Tahoe! First time there, great view! Then, i was back on my footsteps of 2006: Bodie gosht town, Mono Lake, Tioga Pass &amp; entrance to Yosemite national park, the last one of the tour, again. I had great time in the van that day, but not everyone agreed. Have to say that we were quite loud at the back <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   Like 2006, we camp at Indian flat RV campground (El portal). Almost business as usual&#8230;</p>
<p>The next day, i finally decided against the Half dome hike&#8230; I made a choice: spend more time with people i appreciate, instead of going for a sport stuff. So. We decided to go to Mariposa grove (Sequoia&#8217;s), then to Glacier point (where we met Steve, Brandon&#8217;s instructor at suntrek), and back in the valley to see the visitor center movie. It was 3.30 pm, and the half dome hikers were already back. Congrats to Roman, Stephan, Niels &amp; Tim. Guys, you were so fast!!! The night was great, camp fire, guitar, jokes (Lindsay&#8217;s one was great&#8230;took me some time to understant but;&#8230;). I could record some moments of the night, it&#8217;s all so good to listen back to it&#8230;</p>
<p>A nouveau, la journée a démarré tôt à Reno. Debout à 6h, mais avec un bon déjeuner à la clef: oeufs, saucisses, ketchup&#8230; A 8h, on était en route vers notre premier arrêt: Lake Tahoe. Première fois, quelle vue! Ensuite, je suis revenu sur mes pas de 2006: Bodie gosht town, Mono Lake, Tioga pass &amp; entrée dans Yosemite national park. Le dernier du tour, encore une fois&#8230; J&#8217;ai passé un bon moment dans le van ce jour-là, même si tout le monde ne partageait pas cette opinion. Faut dire qu&#8217;on était plutôt bruyant à l&#8217;arrière <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Comme en 2006, on campe à l&#8217;Indian flat RV campground (El Portal). Presque &#8220;business as usual&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p>Le lendemain, j&#8217;ai finalement décidé de ne pas faire le hike du half dome. J&#8217;ai fait un choix: passer du temps avec des personnes que j&#8217;apprécie, plutôt que de me lancer dans un &#8220;défi&#8221; sportif. Nous sommes allés à Mariposa grove (voir les sequoias), puis Glacier point où nous avons rencontré Steve (l&#8217;instructeur de Brandon chez suntrek) et enfin retour dans la vallée pour voir le film au visitor center. Il était 15h30 et les hikers du half dome était déjà de retour! Bravo à Roman, Stephan, Niels &amp; Tim. Les gars, vous avez été rapides!! La soirée était super aussi: feu de camp, guitare, blagues (Celle de Lindsay était chouette..M&#8217;a fallu du temps pour la comprendre mais j&#8217;y suis arrivé!) J&#8217;ai enregistré quelques moments de la soirée, et je dois dire que c&#8217;est génial de réécouter tout ça.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey folks! It&#8217;s been a while since my last post. Not easy to have internet access in some remote place of USA. I&#8217;m now in Reno, in the last week of the tour. In the last days, we&#8217;ve been to Cody (wyoming), Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, Salt Lake City and today Reno. The most interesting was off course Yellowstone. Great NP, we saw a lot, did some very long hikes (25km)&#8230; Salt Lake city, and its Temple square was a good day &amp; and a great night at camp. Reno, the smallest biggest city. I&#8217;ve just met my former trekleader of 2006. Always good to see him. Anyway&#8230; here are some pics. Tomorrow, early wake up to find some breakfast, and we go to Mono Lake, Bodie, and enter the famous Yosemite.</p>
<p>Salut à tous, me revoici enfin online avec quelques news. Pas facile d&#8217;avoir l&#8217;internet dans certains coins reculés des USA&#8230; Je suis actuellement à Reno, dans la dernière semaine du tour. Ces derniers jours, nous sommes passés par Cody (Wyoming), Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, Salt Lake city &amp; donc Reno. Le plus intéressant reste bien sur Yellowstone. Une nature étonnante et spectaculaire, nous avons aussi fait un hike de 25km. Salt Lake city, c&#8217;est surtout son Temple square. On y a surtout passé du bon temps au camp. Et Reno, la plus grand petite ville du monde (???) Je viens juste de quitter mon trekleader de 2006. Toujours cool de le revoir! Voici quelques photos. Désolé de ne pas pouvoir montrer plus pour l&#8217;instant&#8230; Il est minuit ici, et on se lève tôt demain pour le breakfast. Direction Mono Lake, Bodie et le fameux Yosemite. Le Half dome m&#8217;attend&#8230;A bientôt!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And another day in the US. This morning (and last night) was f**** cold, freezing. So, i really had a bad night. Today, we left Custer and went to Crazyhorse monument. To be real, all Mount Rushmore would fit in Crazyhorse&#8217;s head. We then drove to Deadwood, mining town for lunch. This is the place where Buffalo Bill and Calamity Jane are buried. Finally we arrived in Devils Tower and made two hikes. And part of the group decided to have a motel night. So, i&#8217;m now in Hulett, in my motel room with some people. Tomorrow, we drive to Cody. Keep in touch!</p>
<p>Et une nouvelle journée aux USA! Mais une vraie nuit de misère. Il a gelé à Custer, j&#8217;ai donc très peu dormi&#8230; Nous avons quitté Custer et commencé par un arrêt à Crazyhorse monument. Pour vous donner une idée, Le mount Rushmore tient dans la seule tête de Crazyhorse! Nous avons ensuite mis le cap sur Deadwood, village minier, où sont enterrés Buffalo Bill et Calamity Jane. Enfin, nous sommes arrivés à Devils Tower et avons fait quelques hikes. Et vu le temps, pluvieux, frais, certains d&#8217;entre nous ont décidé d&#8217;upgrader vers un motel. Je suis donc à Hulett, 8 miles de Devils Tower. Demain, en route pour Cody. On reste en contact!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I really wanted to write this post. When we went back at night to Mount Rushmore to see the movie and lightshow, i was scared about Belgium. The end of the show is about war veterans coming on the scene, bringing the US flag down, and listening to the National anthem. And the crowd cheering. When i live such moments, people being proud of their country, and when i think about the situation in Belgium, it scares me&#8230; I wish we may find soon, someone like President Lincoln, who stood in for his country during the Civil war. USA was one, and would remain one. So be it.  Belgium people need to stand for our country&#8230;</p>
<p>Je voulais vraiment écrire ce post. Nous sommes retourné en soirée au Mount Rushmore pour voir le film et le lightshow. Ce qui m&#8217;a fait réfléchir à la situation de la Belgique. Le show se terminait par l&#8217;arrivée sur scène de vétérans de guerre, faisant descendre le drapeau US puis écoutant l&#8217;hymne national, le tout sous les acclamations du public. Quand je vis de tels moments, avec des gens aussi fiers de leur pays, et que je pense Belgique, ça m&#8217;effraye un peu. J&#8217;espère que nous trouverons prochainement notre président Lincoln. Lincoln qui s&#8217;est battu, durant la guerre de sécession, pour que les USA restent un seul pays. Ce qui est arrivé&#8230; Nous aussi, nous pouvons trouver, j&#8217;espère, quelqu&#8217;un qui se battra pour l&#8217;unité du pays&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey all, some quick notes about these two days. Yesterday, we were in Badlands NP. The weather was rainy, cloudy, and cold. Not so fun&#8230; Anyway, Badland was really a nice place to see. We also did some shopping in Interior. A really tiny town, with a really tiny jail&#8230; The camp was kind of a ranch. Some of us did some horseback riding. And we could upgrade to a lodge &amp; had great time there. Today, sunny again, but still really cold wind. So&#8230; Mount Rushmore at noon, great scenery, great story. In the afternoon, Custer SP, buffalos, deers, hike&#8230; And we are about to have dinner in in the Custer gulch camp. Tonight, back to Mount Rushmore for a night vision &amp; national anthem.</p>
<p>Bonjour à tous, voici quelques news rapidos. Hier, nous étions donc à Badlands. On n&#8217;en a pas vraiment profité au maximum, le temps étant très brumeux et pluvieux. On a quand même pu en voir une partie dans des conditions acceptables. Repas au Wall drug, belle histoire familiale&#8230;  Après midi, arrivée au camp, ou on a pu upgrader en lodge facility. Top! Certains ont fait du cheval. On a aussi vu le très petit village de Interior, et sa très petite prison. En soirée, burritos et très bon moment de vie de groupe. Aujourd&#8217;hui, petite tête à l&#8217;équerre. A midi, visite du Mont Rushmore. Quel paysage, quel travail, quelle histoire. Nous sommes ensuite partis pour Custer, ou nous sommes au Custer Gulch Camp. Très propre, bien équipé, au calme. On a ensuite fait le tour du Custer SP: bisons, biches, &#8230; hike. Là, on s&#8217;apprête à souper. Et on va retourner au Mount Rushmore pour le spectacle de soirée, avec hymne national, éclairage etc&#8230; Top. Pour les photos, il faudra patienter, pas vraiment le temps de m&#8217;en occuper, sans compter qu&#8217;il fait pas vraiment chaud&#8230; A bientôt!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey readers. First of all, i would like to thanks Damien (<a href="http://www.bloggingthenews.info" target="_blank">Blogging the news</a>) for talking about this blog. Keep on the good work Damien!</p>
<p>Now back on to transamerica. What&#8217;s been on? Yesterday, we moved from Chicago to Milwaukee. After a few hours drive, we were at <a href="www.millerbrewing.com" target="_blank">Miller brewery </a>around noon.  I also have to say that this WE, was the 105th anniversary of Harley Davidson. Don&#8217;t have to add that Milwaukee was full of bikers. Now, we off course did the brewery tour. But it was, again, disappointing (again, because it was the same in 2006 &amp; Sacramento&#8217;s Bud brewery). Saw a short movie, the packaging hall, and stock hall. That was it! We had lunch there, and went on to Madison. Short stop (half an hour), during Labor Day festival. Full of people, music &amp; food! Only saw the capitole&#8230; We drove further to the town of Winona, and Park Island camp. Had a good time, but not the cleanest camp i have seen!</p>
<p>Today was another driving day. Not so much to say. Just had a stop at Brandon (as our trekleader&#8217;s name) and are now camping in <a href="http://www.koa.com/where/sd/41103/" target="_blank">KOA Midland</a>, South Dakota. Tomorrow, we will see our first National Park, <a href="http://www.nps.gov/badl/" target="_blank">Badlands</a>. Then go to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Drug" target="_blank">Wall Drug</a>. Keep in touch!</p>
<p>Bonjour à tous! Tout d&#8217;abord, je voudrais remercier Damien (<a href="http://www.bloggingthenews">Blogging the news</a>) pour le billet.

<p>Retour au Transamerica. Hier, nous avons donc quitté Chicago pour Milwaukee. Nous y sommes arrivés vers midi. RDV à la <a href="www.millerbrewing.com" target="_blank">Brasserie Miller</a>, que nous avons visité. On a vu un film, et les halls d&#8217;emballage et stockage/expédition. Encore une fois, j&#8217;en ressors déçu, comme en 2006 avec la visite de Budweiser à Sacramento. En comparant avec Interbrew Jupille évidemment&#8230;J&#8217;ajoute aussi que ce WE, c&#8217;était le 105e anniversaire de Harley Davidson. Inutile de dire que la ville était remplie de bikers! Après le lunch, on a poursuivi jusque Madison, ou on a marqué un bref arrêt. En plein Labor Day festival. Ville full aussi, musique, bouffe, bref de quoi s&#8217;amuser. Pas le temps, sans compter qu&#8217;il faisait très très chaud&#8230; Enfin, destination finale du jour, Winona, et le park Island camp. Rempli lui aussi. Et pas toujours clean&#8230;</p>
<p>Aujourd&#8217;hui, ce ne fut que de la route, avec un seul arrêt à Brandon (même nom que notre trekleader, ça ne s&#8217;invente pas). Je me trouve actuellement au <a href="http://www.koa.com/where/sd/41103/" target="_blank">KOA de Midland</a>. Demain, le premier National Park du tour,<a href="http://www.nps.gov/badl/" target="_blank"> Badlands</a>, puis <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Drug" target="_blank">Wall Drug</a>. Keep in touch!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey all. Some news from Chicago, Illinois. First, you all must know that Obama as just been confirmed democrate&#8217;s candidate for president, after the democratic national convention! And McCain just announced Palin as his VP choice! Anyway&#8230; Let&#8217;s talk about the tour now. On our way from Toledo, we made a quick stop in Shipshewana, amish town. See pic below. Kinda strange to see such things in 2008! Then we finally arrived in Chicago around 6 pm. Went to Sears Tower Skydeck, but the weather wasn&#8217;t so nice&#8230; And then we had THE meal, THE pizza! At Giodano&#8217;s, just across Sears. A good, big Special Stuffed pizza! This friday, we came back downtown and got to see a lot. Navy pier, Oak street beach, Shedd Museum, Soldier field, Buckingham fountain&#8230; We ended the day having a look at the Hancok tower, really nice sunset view of Chicago skyline. Tomorrow, saturday 30th, road to Milwaukee (&amp; Miller Brewery) and Madison. Keep in touch!</p>
<p>Bonjour à tous. Voici quelques nouvelles de Chicago. D&#8217;abord, confirmation de Obama comme candidat démocrate à la présidentielle. Pour rappel, Obama est originaire de Chicago. Ensuite, l&#8217;annonce surprise de Mc Cain, avec Mme Palin comme choix de VP. Mais revenons-en au tour. Sur la route vers Chicago, nous avons fait un arrêt surprise à Shipshewana, village amish. Etonnant de voir ça, en 2008! Voir la photo plus bas. Enfin, vers 18H, on arrive à Chicago. Nous sommes allés au skydeck de la Sears Tower, pour découvrir la skyline. Malheureusement, la météo n&#8217;était pas vraiment avec nous. Ensuite, nous avons pris LE repas, mangé LA pizza, chez Giordano. Photo ci dessous. Une bonne special stuffed pizza! Ce vendredi, nous sommes revenus downtown et avons vu énormément, sous le soleil. Shedd museum, soldier field, navy pier, Michigan river, Buckingham Fountain&#8230; On a fini la journée par le Hancock tower lounge, avec la vue soleil couchant sur la skyline de Chicago. Joli. Demain samedi 30, direction Milwaukee (&amp; Miller Brewery) et Madison. Keep in touch!</p>
