Kevin's Version

Thanks for checking out my road trip blog. So here is the story, I'm doing a 6-week road trip with my friend Natalie from grad school (California University of Pennsylvania for those of you who didn't know). Follow our trek across the country as we go from city to city and national park to national park. I'll try and stay current with the blog, but I am not making any promises.

If you are looking for a little twist on the story, check out Nat's blog (link to come soon). We will be keeping separate blogs and won't be checking out the other's blog until the end of the trip.

Day 1: Lot's of driving

After spending the last few days frantically packing and tracking down things that I needed, I finally hit the road this mornining, traveling to Hartfield, VA from Hartford, CT (well really Bloomfield, but the Hartford/Hartfield combo works so good). Besides having to drive to Timonium, MD to pick up a part for my roof rack system, and having the GPS in "bicycle" mode to avoid highways, the 11 hr trip was pretty uneventful. It wasn't until the Baltimore area that I realized the GPS wasn't really just bad at giving directions, but was in the wrong mode. It was a good thing that I don't really trust GPS's because otherwise I would have ended up in Lancaster, PA taking a horse drawn carriage through Omish Country or something. Well I'm sure nobody wants to hear about a boring 11 hr car ride, so I will wrap this up. Tomorrow the road trip really begins and we are headin to Knoxville and then staying in Nashville for the night.

p.s. Sorry no picture this time...will definitly have one for tomorrow though.
