Road Trip!



Planning trips is stressful and exhilarating. I love it. And there are TONS of great resources out there, which really just makes for more stuff to pour over.

I'm heading out May 10th with my brother and my good buddy Becca for Road Trip America 2010. Thirteen states, ten of which I have never been to before. It's going to be the best. Also also horrible because it is 100 hours of driving. Suffering is important to me for some reason. I'm trying to think of different ways to document it. I'll probably re-install my twitter account. Also a new zine should come out of it. Ghost towns, ghost highways, canyons, giant trees, mountains, deserts, cliffs, and the OCEAN which everyone says is going to be too cold to swim in but I'm going to try anyway.

Whoa cool. I want to go to all those parks, I always think we'll be able to go there on tour but we never have time (or no one wants to take an extra day to drive 8 hrs out of the way to go the grand canyon). On the way back you should stop at the vapor caves in Glenwood Springs CO. Looks like it's on yr way back pretty much. It's right of the highway, off 70 i think. It's like a sauna, but in a cave. with vapor. It's amazing! It's really worth the stop! When are you leaving for this?
