"...what an absurd amount of time I have been waisting all of my life trying to figure out the way things 'Really are,' when all the time they weren't." ---Hugh Prather

...My first road trip in 1995 hit every wastern state except Utah, I traveled with, my now ex fiance but still freind, Tamra on this trip we traveled down the coast and through the Red Wood Forest to the Grand Canyon over to Sante Fe NM up to the Grand Tetons and Yellow Stone National Park.
we were on the road for about three weeks and the only near disaster is when, in all my manhood, I made a failed attempt to cut a log in half with a hatchet. nearly missing the log and fully hitting my own knee cap. lucky for me I had ever so slightly forseen the implanting of the hatchet into my knee and slowed my thrust to avoid any serious damage (Physically that is, pride is another story all together)
Unfortunatly the journal from this trip has been lost in the shuffle,However, when it is found you will be the second to read it ( me first ).
for now here is my Journal from my second road trip in 1998 with my best freind and brother Brooks and another good freind Mike.
Followed by Brooks and my trip to destination unknown- St Thomas.
Two months after ariving in St Thomas I finnally looked at a map to see where in the world I was. I couldn't find it on the map but I did see Porto Rico and knew I was close...
please feel free to send me your comments or questions I'll be happy to answer them for you..
Enjoy!
