RT4: Zoo’s Closing Thoughts

I’ve said this before, but road trips, like life, are unforgiving. You get one shot at a city, to make the most of it, and then you’ve moved on. Your mistakes and your successes are amplified.
This was a pretty sedate road trip. I was more introspective than a good road trip [...]

Quinquagesimus

There was a time when I had a list of things I wanted to accomplish in my life. A bucket-list … I called it “my 50″. I dragged myself through that list for the past decade, laying the bricks of my edification and education. The bricks — the places I had to [...]

Zoo’s Favorite Moments

Of our one-hundred or so posts, I wanted to distill for you the best of the best, in my opinion …
First, we started with a bang in Omaha, then I got to talk to a future mad scientist.  I got my ass kicked in virtual kung-fu under the stars.  We really did see The Most [...]

Thank you, everyone!

From the myriad of people we met on the road, to our friends, fans and family back home, thank you all.
We’ll be posting more very interesting stuff we just didn’t have time to pull of while on the road in the next week or so, so keep checking. Plus, a super-secret special opportunity of a [...]

500 pushups!

You may have caught some moments on the timelapse video where I appear to be humping the ground … if you look carefully, my pants are actually on.  I was attempting to do 50 pushups a day before going out drinking.  Mostly, I did a good job of that, but a couple nights I forgot [...]

You can’t make this up, but you can make it happen.

Today, Zoo and I turned over 4,751 miles on the odometer. What’s the significance? Well, when you subtract the distance between where we each live, it equals the mileage on the truck when we rented in in Denver only seven days ago.

Zoo Says:  Driving Cross Country Without having to touch New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, [...]

Juxtaposition

I’m sure there are two destinations within a few hundred miles that are more different than Elko, Nevada and Salt Lake City, but I’m hard pressed to think of another so polarized pair.

We’ll give you some [...]
