Revving up

road trip

Read in the voice of movie trailer master Don LaFontaine: In a world held under seige by soaring gas prices, two brothers defy the odds and hit the Interstates in search of something larger than themselves...

In six days, Mike and I are firing up the Grasshopper's four cylinders for a lap around the eastern United States. We'll be traveling nearly 3,000 miles -- passing through about 15 states -- in 12 days. Here's a list of our scheduled stops:

• Day one of the Kentucky Bourbon Festival
• Hang out with G-Rad folks in Grand Rapids, Michigan
• Visit Emily in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
• See Kathryn for the first time in nine years in upstate New York
• Chill with Liz before she moves to Denver
• Possibly stop in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee (home of Dollywood)
• and Catch a round of the PPA Southern Putting Tour

We should have somewhat regular access to the Internet, and I expect lots of pictures will be taken and posted to Flickr, and even some video clips to share via Vimeo.

...But these two travelers will learn what they're looking for comes from within -- if they don't kill each other after being in a cramped car for thousands of miles first.
