Life is what happens to you while you‘re busy making other plans.
-John Lennon
We started our adventure with a well planned route, hours to be driven, and stops to be had. We found out that weather, unforeseen obstacles, and long, unexpected lunches (where you spot that great BBQ joint just off the road) tend to alter the best laid plans. So, along the way, Matt and I have learned that the more open we are to detours from our planning, the better. While planning always gives us, well, a plan. Sometimes the best experiences are those that are not planned, like extended stays in one spot because you can.
However, it’s the journey, not necessarily the route that matters… here are our journeys (thus far):
- Trip One: Chapel Hill to Austin
- Trip Two: Austin to Phoenix
- Trip Three: Phoenix to Palm Springs
- Trip Four: Palm Springs to Bay Area
- Trip Five: Bay Area to Portland
- Trip Six: Portland to Seattle
- Trip Seven: Seattle to Las Vegas
- Trip Eight: Around Las Vegas
- Trip Nine: Las Vegas to Tucson
- Trip Ten: Tucson to Rifle
- Trip Eleven: Rifle to Badlands to Carbondale
- Trip Twelve: Carbondale to Las Vegas (coming soon)
