The Road Trip of a Lifetime
With a challenging semester of grad school behind me, I have decided to take on the task of uploading the digital pictures that I have scattered all over the place on hard drives, CDs, etc. I'm starting with the most imortant group of pictures, those from my 2001 road trip around the country.
The trip was spurred by a number of events, some professional (I had no job and no job prospects) and emotional. Over the course of a weekend, I went from deciding to move to Belgium to taking off in the car for a couple of months. Why Belgium, you ask? I've been there before and liked it, and it would be easy for me to bring my dog Zero with me. Cooler heads prevailed and a few weeks later, My roommate, my dog, and I hopped into a car and set out for the adventure of a lifetime.
We even had a website that we updated from the road. We also journaled our experiences. I was a blogger... old school, yo. Hand coded. What's especially interesting about this trip is that it took place in the Spring/Summer of 2001, months before 9/11 and everything changing forever.
I've only got half of the trip pictures uploaded, but wanted to share some highlights from the second half of the trip:
Flying over San Francisco in a Cessna with Bobby
At Yosemite National Park
The Pacific Northwest and Vancouver
