Anna left out with four roommates Sunday on their wild west road trip, so we’ve been tracking their progress. She and another girl are coming back after a couple of weeks or so, but Alex and the others are traveling until the end of June. Photos courtesy of Anna and Alex.
In years past I have plotted out road trips to see various sights, figuring out routes, miles, and the hours it would take on each leg. I enjoy driving places and seeing the scenery along the way but as I get older fear getting sleepy and fighting traffic. Read a blog about a guy who drove cross country to see every park, and want to read a book about a similar adventure.
Here's Anna's itinerary:
