Well, some things are just too interesting not to mention, but they definitely don’t warrant their own post. Here are a few wild things I’ve noticed: People still yell: “I’m king of the world!” Kids yell this. Kids that were born after Titanic was released. How is this possible? Was it mocked in some Disney cartoon? It happens whenever there’s a prominent geographic feature with a steep drop and a railing — [...]

This is post is from eons ago, when we were camped at City of Rocks in New Mexico, but we never ran it for whatever reason. We’ve been on the road over 8 months now. Thanks for reading! Bite into a hunk of cheese for me sometime. There’s a Seinfeld scene I keep replaying in my mind (from The Foundation episode). George is talking to Jerry about being free: George Costanza: [...]

As of today, I’ve officially been to all 50 states. Before we started this trip, I had just a few left to go: West Virginia (I don’t count previously driving across the little northern tip as having been there), Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Thanks to our detour to Charleston, we ticked off my last 6 states. As an aside, I do count driving into the tip of Alaska [...]

Well, we’ve just wrapped up a big round of friend visits, and each time we were set to see somebody we hadn’t seen in months (or years) it felt a bit odd. I couldn’t help think of Gotye’s song, Somebody That I Used To Know … even though these were all friends, not ex-girlfriends. Would things be different? Would our friends turn into people we just used to know? Nope. [...]

Well, we’ve published 300 posts on our blog. #300 fired off this morning — my post about Detroit. Seems like a lot of writing. It’s been a lot of miles — just under 18,000 so far. We’re 6.5 months into our trip and still loving it. Some days are tough, like yesterday when we were mobbed by insects for the first time and used some of the most disgusting campground [...]

Most people have to get their phones hacked before their pictures get onto the interwebs. Here are 21 pictures I discovered when digging through my old phone photos. Most you probably haven’t seen, but with so many pictures, we may have published a few of these before. Enjoy!

“You know, I really like mornings. They’re so peaceful, and the light is amazing.” True. Mornings are great. But LISA said that. After I pieced my exploded head back together, I looked back on the other signs of change. In Indianapolis, she sampled a pickled egg without reservations or hesitation. In Chicago, I suggested we go to a bar serving $0.30 wings for a pre-dinner snack and she was all [...]

I enjoy watching our popular posts shift around and jockey for position. For a long time, posts about our Merit 25 sailboat were on top thanks to Google and people looking for information about this boat via search. Lately, the post about travel computers has been on top, but it was recently dethroned. Here’s what’s at the top today and why: Culver’s vs. In-N-Out comparison post. This was a popular [...]

This stuff is at nearly every park we visit … and I hate it. It just doesn’t work. I wrote it a poem: Waxie toilet paper, oh how I hate thee, At least I don’t have to use you when I pee, Because all you do is smear and smoosh. You don’t even act nicely when you flush! That’s why this University is suing you, You’re no better than a [...]
