So I spent a long weekend north of 60 in Canada. I found a stop sign that seemed not to have a purpose. I got caught in a heavy rain—in a supposedly arid climate—miles from any paved road. I saw a flicker of the northern lights. I ate musk ox and caribou. In the same stew. I’m calling that an adventure.

How I did it: I don't know why I took so long, but I did. I got caught up in other things, but now I've turned my Mac into my work computer and play computer. About time. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Make sure to join the team, otherwise it will be hard to make sure you know when and where to go. Once there, be yourself. 43ers are friendly and fun. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I heard about this event on flyertalk.com at nearly the last minute, so keep your ear to the ground if you want to do this. One of the best ways is to keep an eye on any new runways being built at your local airport, otherwise you'll have to buy a ticket. For whatever reason, this wasn't very well publicized and difficult to find. Read how I did it…

Lots of sun and beach in both of these places, but you won’t see much of anything on the interstate.
Being the South and all, they’re both really cool places. SC, though, might have the edge.
Made it to Miami and drove the last bit I hadn’t. So now I’ve got the southern terminus of the highway down.
