SHARING HIS SNAPSHOTS is Roger Delgado of Renfrew, who visited Yellowstone National Park as part of his fossil journey this summer.

Roger Delgado of Renfrew spent 20 days this summer following in the footsteps of dinosaurs. It was a trek that took him from Kentucky to Texas to California to South Dakota.

Along the way he took a few side trips to see Corvettes, World War I era airplanes and the flying pancake.

Before his odyssey was done, Delgado put 6,850 miles on his 2005 Nissan Ultima along with two oil changes and a tire rotation.

Delgado said he's taken cross-country road trips before but generally with companions. This was a solo jaunt.

Delgado left Aug. 1.

“It's a nice change of pace,” he said. “You leave your driveway and go onto to something else, which is a nice feeling.”

Delgado said his trip had four objectives: Visit museums with dinosaur skeletons,visit air museums, hone his photography skills, and drop in on relatives on the West Coast.
