Roadtrip 2008
From BovineNet
I went on a cross-state roadtrip this July 2008 over a 2 week period.
My LiveJournal blog post describes my final trip, including links to my photos.
[edit] Plans
I'll be driving by myself in my Jeep Wrangler, and stopping whenever I reach a nice place or I get tired. The entire loop that I've tentatively planned out is about 4500 miles, but I may choose to cut things short if I start running out of time or get bored.
