Everyone has a hankering to experience the freedom and adventure that the open road has to offer at some point in their lives. For me, itas been an incessant dream. I finally built up the courage and took it upon myself to hit the road alone, and for six weeks I drove around the country in pursuit of what seemed like nothing more than a vagary. From getting stuck in a whiteout in Utah, to hopping a freight train and riding it into the marshlands of southern Alabama, this is a true account that came straight from my journal of the places that I went to, the people I met, and the events that took place during my trip.
