For those unfamiliar with the
particulars of our trip, the general idea is to get a small taste of the
diversity that our country has to offer. We've drafted a schedule that takes us
all around the edge of the country to places that we felt were representative
of a large portion of the country's culture, cuisine, and landscape. We want to
get a feel for as many of the country’s major cities, scenic byways, small
towns, and The schedule is somewhat flexible as we go along it, but in general
we're spending around two weeks in each quadrant of the country, for a total of
around 54 days. We started off in Leighton’s ’98 Suburban in Alexandria, VA
headed south. After Savannah we started to head west across the southern
portion of the country all the way to San Diego to pick up another member of
the trip, then north along the PCH to Seattle, east to New England, and then
back home to Virginia. We have taken some nice film and photography equipment
to document the trip, and, as you can see, we’ll be blogging all along the way.
The four of us currently on the
trip are Jackson, Alex, Chris, and Leighton, and once we get to San Diego we’ll
add Ned. Alex and Leighton are our film/photography guys, having recently
gotten their film degrees. Jackson provides a more analytical perspective as an
Econ major still in school. Chris is an entertaining character who adds some
fun to the group, and Ned’s a budding environmental scientist who’ll make sure
to call us out when we do something stupid.
We plan to make at least one post
for each location of the trip, though internet constraints may prevent us from
actually posting anything for certain periods of time, especially when camping.
Also, we can only post photos when we have free wifi because they would use up
a lot of data very quickly. We plan to make a separate photo blog soon, which
we will link to from here, for all the pictures we like that don’t fit into
this blog. Anything else will probably go on Facebook or never be seen by human
eyes again. -J
