If anyone's interested:
This past July I set out on a roadtrip from Texas to the northwest. I traveled through 13 states in 21 days, and traveled over 7,000 miles. The majority of mile were on 2-lane US highways, and some back country roads. I probably had no more than 100 miles on the interstate, and that was only to link up with other highways.
Of my 21 days, only 3 nights were spent at a hotel. The rest of the time I either camped, or slept in my truck at rest areas and truck stops.
I blogged about my trip and took a ton of photos. I broke it down in sections so it's easier to read. I took my dog Marley with me, so when you read 'we', I'm referring to the dog and I.
Anyway, I took photos and wrote about it in hopes to encourage others to get out there and explore. When I left on my trip, I had no idea where I was going, where I would stay, and when I would come home.
I'm really anxious to do it again. This last time I did it in my Ford F-350. Next time I want to use a Ford Ranger so I can get to more remote areas.
I hope you'll check it out:
