In 1993 I decided to do spring Grateful Dead Tour. Well, spring tour ended up being almost 2 years. Then in 1999, after a few years of not traveling, my best friend and I decided to drive from Neah Bay,WA (most northwest point) to Lubec,Maine(most northeast point). We took the entire summer off and had a blast! We drove up Mt. Washington, saw a game in Fenway Park, swam in the Alantic, broke down in Kansas, ate grits, saw a moose, went to Sturgis, and met a whole lot of wonderful people along the way. If you EVER get the chance to drive across the USA, do it. You wil have the time of your life.
