Overview
Crossing the country has always been something we've both wanted to do. I can remember in high school and college before we even met talking about spending a whole summer just going anywhere and everywhere in an attempt to see and do new things. Come to find out, Eddie has always wanted to do it too (but who doesn't really?)
With our school being back to a traditional calendar, and with Eddie going back to grad school in August and leaving work early, we finally have the opportunity to do it! We'll be leaving June 14th and plan to travel west and then loop back around. The plan is to stay with friends, family, camp, and sleep in the back of the car once in a while. Corey and Travis are staying at our house for the summer with the perros and kitten, and we've got an itinerary a mile long of places to see. We're more interested in seeing the National Parks and outdoorsy things more than the typical tourist trap destinations. This tracker is the easiest way we could think of to keep a record of our trip for ourselves, family and friends along the way!

1st stop on the trip- Great Smokey Mountains National Park. We ended up coming in through a not-so-touristy entrance and missed all the good views that the park is known for, but ended up hiking one of the trails up a mountain. It was some pretty intense hiking-obviously, it was a mountain. About 3... |
