Just under a week ago I was in Saint Louis, Missouri. I was staying in an Air BnB with Ryan downtown. After picking him up at the airport we found a parking structure that my car fit in (not always the easiest being around 6’9” with my Thule cover on). Saturday morning I realized I […]

8 Months TODAY!! 2.14.18.
When I originally started writing this post I was just over 5 months on my journey. Then I got distracted, re-wrote some of it and added to it after I was on the road for 6 months….. Then I went to Europe. Now I’ve been on the road for 8 months, and this time I […]
Silver Linings
I got the call I was waiting for. The Bloomington Police Department in Minnesota called to let me know that my camera had been pawned and they got it back!!! . Officer John B asked if he could look to see what was on the memory card. Unfortunately the jerk who stole it, deleted all […]
Bad Things Happen
Yesterday was the worst day I’ve had on my trip so far. It was actually the worst in a lot longer than that. I had my camera stolen from my car with ALL my pictures from Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Minnesota. My camera was the largest item I’ve ever purchased for myself […]
Part 1: DONE
The first part of my trip came to an end as I dropped off my dad at SeaTac and headed up to my best friend’s dad’s house just north of Seattle. I started part one on June 14, 2017 and ended July 3, 2017. During this time, I drove just over 57 hours and 3,153 […]
The Tallest Town in Oregon
Leaving California was a little hard, because it meant that my trip was REALLY starting now. No turning back… The morning after the wedding (see California Dreamin’) I had over 7 hours of driving in Black Beauty to get to my next stop, The Tallest Town in Oregon! Driving from Arnold I went Northeast towards […]
Black Beauty
I’m currently catching up on a few posts right now so first lets start with my brand new baby!! I’m actually glad that I waited (or was too distracted) to post this because now I have had a little bit more time to drive her around and actually experience all that is capable, and I’m […]
The Final Countdown….
Forewarning, this post may be a bit on the long side, a LOT as been going on….the past month has been a whirlwind of party planning, party hosting, job training, studying, finals, emotions, and so much more. I tend to put a lot on my plate and then just need to take it one thing […]
Gearing up
The last couple of weeks, I started to realize that my trip is getting really really close and I definitely don’t have everything I need to even get started. So I decided this weekend would be a perfect time to start buying some of the necessities. Lanterns (one propane, one for the tent, and one […]
My Changes
For those of you that don’t know, over the last year and 9 months, I have changed a lot, both physically and emotionally. I had stopped caring for myself. Since then I’ve lost 40 pounds, I’ve found myself and am finding things that make me happy 😊 again. This may I will (finally) be graduating […]
