go on a road trip across the U.S.

...48 states in 2001

I made this trip with a friend from college. We went to a baseball game in St. Louis, chilled in colorado mountain ranges, hiked the Grand Canyon, drove through the desert with the top down, listened to a lot of grateful dead, jimi hendrix and neil young, and overall had a blast.

I would do it again.

this might be more do-able if my car hadn’t just died… ah well, that’s what I get for having a car that’s nearly as old as I am…
So, this goal will be put on one of the furthest back burners for the time being. =/

I just saw something about a new book about the Lincoln Highway called, appropriately enough, The Lincoln Highway. This is what I want to do: drive one of these old highways, stopping at all the interesting spots along the way.

would love to do it, and i’m going to. but being an aussie its a little daunting… since i’m more than likely doing it solo, apparently my friends have “jobs”. but its still gunna be fun

“Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting.”

Went from Atlanta to Arizona… pretty close to across the U.S.

that’s what I’m really looking for with this goal. The freedom to do what I want when I want, and to be who I want to be. The freedom to find out who I am, not who people think I am, or think I should be.

So much fun and it puts a different perspective on life and our world when you take the time to travel across it. I’ve done it a couple of times by car alone and it’s a blast. Hope to do it with a friend someday also.

Well I lived in Seattle for a long time and decided to move to the east for a lot of reasons of course but the problem was how to get there. What about my junk? What about my dog? And my car? Drive of course! I packed my stuff up and headed east with lots of good tunes, snacks galore, a good friend, and my pug settled in the backseat. 90 mph the entire way, ticket free, flat tire free, and smooth sailing.

My best friend of 12 years and I were concerned about annoying eachother but I think we’re even closer friends since the trip. It’s an experience you have to share with someone and who better than your closest friend? Something everyone should do at least once.
