I didn’t really start from home in Massachusetts. I felt impelled to drive up the Atlantic coast to Maine and I ended up in Portland. That put me on the east coast just about as far east as you can get. Then I could start my journey across and around the country.

I don’t really like to say across the country because that infers a linear trip from coast to coast. I zig zagged my way through the country being sure to get every state. Which I did.
I will be posting pictures of the journey for you But here is a map of the trip.

Planning was very important for this trip. I always had moderate weather no matter where in the country I was. I will blog more about that in future posts.

It was the trip of a lifetime. It took me six months and I drove 20,474 miles.
