Ah, to be in the land of my people. We got out of Austin just days before an unexpected snow hit them and traded that for some even colder but weather in my home state. We spent the entire month of December visiting my family and childhood friends, most of whom I hadn't seen in … Continue reading Arkansas and Kansas

Melbourne, FL
Ah, the comforting sight of yet another sandy, warm beach. The only differences are that this time we're in the far eastern side of the United States instead of the western side and that it's 80 degrees and sunny in October. It's not the climate to which we're accustomed but beggars can't be choosers and … Continue reading Melbourne, FL
Mini Update – Melbourne, FL
We're still alive and well. Since Washington, D.C., we spent two weeks with Brooke's good friend in North Carolina before heading further south into Florida. I've been working with my coworkers on-site since we got to Melbourne so there's been no shortage of work for me. Brooke has taken on a few commissions and projects … Continue reading Mini Update – Melbourne, FL
New York State Sprint
After Michigan, the next group of friends and family on our list were in the western parts of New York. We wanted to go through Canada to Buffalo, NY but had to go the south route around Lake Erie and through Cleveland because I am an incurable procrastinator and didn't get a passport in time. … Continue reading New York State Sprint
Yellowstone National Park
Once we admitted that Going To The Sun Road wouldn't open in time, we finished up what we could in Glacier and abandoned the quest. I was getting excited to introduce Brooke to some more of my family, a particularly hardcore half of the bloodline that we're very proud of. We dropped down the southern … Continue reading Yellowstone National Park

We've got some hiking to do today but then we'll get to Rapid City and make a sprint for Souix Falls by … Continue reading Mini Update – Gillette, WY
Superior, MT – A discussion about homelessness.
Life from June 17th to June 20th was chaos for us. We were left physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted with a lot still on our minds. Even more upsetting was the forced realization that the cause for our total exhaustion, a short stay in a homeless community, was an inescapable reality for a massive number … Continue reading Superior, MT – A discussion about homelessness.
Mini Update – Sequim, WA
We're getting breakfast as our last stop in our exodus from Olympic National Forest. We chose a popular and delicious place in Sequim, WA called Oak Table Cafe, coffee compliments of White Cup Espresso, both of which are locally famous. The weather this week has, for the first time since Nevada, been less than ideal. … Continue reading Mini Update – Sequim, WA
Seattle, WA – Mini Update
We've made it safely to Seattle and have a friend we're staying with who's showing us around. We're gonna dig into Seattle and the Olympic National Forest and hopefully have something to show for it when we come out next week. Current status: having a blast!
Vancouver, WA – Mini Update
This is our view today. We decided it was time to wash all our clothes, blankets, sheets, towels, pillow cases, and seat covers. Brooke has busted out the art supplies and I am breaking from work to write this post. Looks like we'll be here for a while...
