Follow Along

Julie and Rainy will be criss-crossing the United States on an epicly amazing roadtrip adventure! We will cover a total of about 10,000 miles. We are trying to create the most authentic roadtrip experience possible. An experience that is certainly going by the wayside with the ever-rising cost of gas and the 'need' to get to one's destination as quickly and efficiently as possible. For us, the journey will be as much of an experience as the destination(s). We will only consult paper maps and guidebooks (screw GPS!) and will avoid chains like the plague! There will be no Motel 6 or Mickey D's for us. Only kitschy roadside diner's, authentic regional cuisine, camping, hostelling, and the occasional sketchy $29.99 local motel. We will be sticking to so called 'Blue Highways' and scenic byways. 'Real America' doesn't exist on the interstate!!!


Follow our blog to experience the journey first hand (well, second hand)!

Bought an Atlas!

I just picked up an atlas to help us navigate our path; to hell with the GPS navigator, we are doing it the old fashioned way! I am also reading to book "Road Trip USA" by Jamie Jensen which I borrowed from Mom & Dad.

When we leave Phoenix, we will head north to Flagstaff to pick up old Route 66 which will take us to Chicago. For the next few days, I will be making notations on what to and see along that route.
