DAY TWENTY-TWO: ROADTRIPPING USA

There is not much I can say today, since the landscape, (aside from hills along the way), were pretty boring. I had major carcolepsy, which means I fell asleep for two hours, which is a first on this trip. We ate two tailgate meals along the way, but our dinner tonight made up for it […]

DAY TWENTY-ONE: ROADTRIPPING USA
