We have been talking about this trip for what seems like forever amongst my friends, and while we are still 2 men down, I am sure it will be a fantastic trip all the same. While I fully anticipate this to be a very fun trip, I am also taking this road trip as an opportunity to do my senior thesis which I have entitled: “The Rediscovery of America in 2008″. I will be documenting every step of this trip and then present my findings in an illustrated journal for those who wish to see my senior thesis.
The planning of this trip included some trickier aspects, like finding places to stay. In an effort to solve this problem, I created a facebook event and invited every single person I know on facebook.com to attend. Through this event, I have found places to stay in New Mexico, Oregon, Seattle, New York City and Washington DC. We have also been given many a traveling tip about several of the cities we plan on visiting.
We have a couple journals, a few cameras and a camcorder with about 2 hours battery life and plenty of memory to capture this trip, and we will not let this be the one that gets away.
Tomorrow we wake up in Columbia, SC for the last time this month.

Josh:
Your map starts at B. I can’t find point A. The trip has to start at point A. What the hell kind of trip are you on? Senior thesis, my ass. You better make sure you got a point A if you ever want to get out of college. I can see it now, 8,000 2 billion miles of sleeping bags, 3.99 buffets, port-a-potties, and 3 weeks worth of video, notes and blah, blah, blah,…and your sponsoring faculty member tells you to start over because you didn’t begin at point A. Hey Josh, what happens when you hit a home run and run to second base, first? Right, no home run. Start at point A.

Dear Josh and gang-
See you in Sacramento. Drive safely. Bathe at least occasionally. Your youngest cousin is looking forward to meeting you.
Love,
