There is nothing like a good road trip to get the adrenaline going, and I have been on a little hot streak the past few years. I am about to embark on my seventh (!) major trip in three years. The list below links to the general itinerary and route. Find details in the actual blog posts related to those dates. Really, these pages are about the maps. I absolutely love maps and seeing where I am going and where I’ve been. And I try my best to avoid the interstate highways – usually with some success. Better to enjoy the journey.
