So the first day of the roadtrip got off to a late start as I managed to misplace $300 and had to dig around my Dad's house and a bunch of packed stuff. As usual, I do not function on little sleep very well. But we hit the road! It was pleasantly warm and sunny, a good way to kick off our adventure:
We even saw a liberal Virginian with a John Kerry bumper sticker at the start.
Western Maryland looked not much different than Pennsylvania it turned out. Except for Pennsylvanians are more protective of their roads:
PA does have some toll roads though, so Web got to go through his first toll and seemed a bit intimidated:
In addition, much of Pennsylvania is coaltowns... and oh do they let you know:
Pretty dull, but Pittsburgh was much more exciting...

T-Minus 3 Days
Only 3 more days left in Maryland before Weber (Web) and I hit the road in what looks to be a Hertz rental SUV, since even though I could save hundreds of $s on a 24' long truck... the parking & driving limitations would defeat the purpose of the fun parts of a road trip. Either way, this isn't just a move, it is an adventure. I think SUVs scream "ADVENTURE," as well as "low mileage."
This is the tentative itinerary:
Sat. 5/30:
1) Leave Germantown, MD for maybe a long while (starting point)
2) Lunch @ Primanti Brothers in Pittsburgh, PA (as I saw on Travel Channel)
3) Dinner in Vandalia, OH (Web's relatives)... note this is RED Ohio... near... DAYTON
4) Camping in Indiana most likely
Sun. 5/31:
1) Go to Chicago, the Windy City for the day
2) Eat Chicago-style deep dish pizza in Chicago
3) Couch surfing
Mon. 6/1:
1) Go to the largest truckstop in the world (as I saw on Travel Channel) in Iowa
2) Lay to rest my long-held suspicion "Nebraska" is a government conspiracy and in fact, not a state
3) Visit the birthplace of Kool-aid
4) Kamp at a KOA (aka, get out hot tub on)
Tues. 6/2:
1) Go to Denver, the Mile High City
2) Consume Beau Jo's mountain pie pizza, LK's favorite pizza in the world... unless pizza in Chicago changes her life for the better
3) Hang with PIRG ppls/coach surf/get wasted
Wed. 6/3:
1) Go to Lucin, UT to see the Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (earthworks art)
2) Camp in the desert
Thurs. 6/4:
1) Go to Reno
2) Gamble
3) Camp near Lake Tahoe
Fri. 6/5:
1) Go to the Bay!
2) Hang out with Web's sista
3) Eat in Chinatown
Sat. 6/6:
1) Go to Crater Lake
2) Enjoy nature/gather pumice
3) Camp
Sun. 6/7:
1) Arrive in da Couve! (destination)
