A Golden Road… The End

So today marks the one year anniversary of the day we left on our life-changing adventure. I had set out from the beginning to create one last video that shows are favorite places and some other highlights but after the devastating and shocking loss of my copilot, Franklin, in November, I just couldn’t bring myself…

Our Final Month

Well, this is it… our final month on a Golden Road. This video is a little longer than normal but we saw so many amazing things, it was impossible to make it shorter. Thank you for coming along, it’s been quite the adventure. Enjoy!

Midwest

After spending five great days in the hustle and bustle of Chicago and eating my way through as many deep dish spots as possible, it was time to continue west. I traded the sound of honking horns and the typical cacophony of city streets for wide open and endless fields of corn, cows and wind…

Catching Up

Let me catch you up to the last week of travel on fast forward: THE OCEAN From the Sequoia Forest and National Parks we headed west toward the Ocean. We hit the beautiful town of Santa Barbara first and walked the windy (very windy) pier, watched the waves and surfers and then hit the road once…

Where Are We?

I woke up this morning, popped up the hatchback and for a moment forgot where we were. It opened to reveal the Alvord desert where we camped but to me it looked like the aftermath of a post-apocalyptic Oregon and I was waiting for a zombie to come slow-walking towards me. The vastness and emptiness…
