Day 26: Lost Luggage

Today was going to be a short(er) drive of 3 hours so we opted to take the more scenic route and avoid the interstate all together. We drove through beautiful redneck country into northeastern Alabama to a small town called Scottsboro and stopped for the most amazing Fried Chicken at a local...

Day 24: Southern Cooking

We said goodbye to Stuart this morning and also to Dirty, though via telephone. Today is Dirty's birthday (Happy Birthday John!) and he and Stuart are taking a road trip of their own down south to do some RVing. They like to stay in Gay Campgrounds, which I had no idea even existed. I always...

Day 23: Dirty!

Turns out there is a gas shortage right where we are heading! Uh Oh! Still not sure if it will change our plans, but we may wind up having to spend a few extra days where we aren't planning on staying. I think it's actually exciting, but I REALLY want to be in Albuquerque on Oct 4th as my...

Philadelphia and Washington DC

My successful (yet expensive) time in New York had come to an end. I had originally planned to travel to Baltimore for a couple of days, although ended up in Philadelphia instead. I met a girl called Arriane, in NY, who had said that I was welcome to her couch for a few days - & that she would...

Day 1: Getting to DC

Stepping out of my office on Friday night, just after 7pm, I began my Great American Roadtrip, 2.0. I dub it 2.0 because I'm joining my sweetie Jared, who started said road trip back on September 1st. He drove from Oakland, our home, north east to NY and then to DC to meet me. (Check his...

We got up early yet again and made our way to the US Capitol builing hoping for a tour. We got there at 9:30am and were handed 2 tickets for the 11:30 tour. We really were hoping to be out of DC by noon as we had a 6 hour drive to Charoltte, North Carolina to see yet another Burning Man...
