– Little Rock, Arkansas to Columbus, Ohio – So… I’m writing this post from the car. It’s after 9pm and we are still on the road. Today has been a long day, and including the time change into the Eastern time zone, we’ve really ended up driving rather late. Our trip today was from Little…

– Denton, Texas to Little Rock, Arkansas – All right everyone, it’s go time. The trip has begun. Atlantic Canada here we come. We will be in Canada some of Sunday, and for the long haul starting on Monday, so it won’t be long now. I’m really looking forward to the cooler temperatures, though I…

Packing for a trip as long as our trip to Atlantic Canada can be challenging. I thought, as we are packing up this week to go, I would share what we pack, and how we do our packing, so other people interested in taking long road trips like this can compare what we take to…

We’re getting the band back together! Okay, so the only one of us that is musical is Mark, and maybe Ripley, when the occasion calls for howling, but you get what I mean. We’re taking another giant summer roadtrip, just like the Alaska Trip that was the impetus for this website’s launch. Once again, our…

– Vicksburg, Mississippi to Denton, Texas – I’m almost sad that we didn’t run this morning, now that I’ve been through Vicksburg National Military Park. I think it would’ve been cool to do. While I do regret the fact that we didn’t get to see the park on a run, I don’t regret the fact…

Running doesn’t seem to be very popular in Tupelo, and is at least unpopular enough that they really don’t have any infrastructure for it. I guess that isn’t totally surprising. Mississippi isn’t exactly Colorado. Anyone that runs here…

– Memphis, Tennessee to Tupelo, Mississippi – Our hotel last night was less than stellar. I guess our neighbors got kicked out of their room at about 4am this morning, after multiple incidents of loudness and disruptions in the room and the hall outside. About 4am, we finally heard an argument, and then blissful silence….

– Denton, Texas to Memphis, Tennessee – So this is a departure from the norm for us- going east on a trip? We almost always go west, as our frequent followers will no doubt have noticed. In fact, we discussed going west, or south to the beach, but in the end we decided that we…

– Roswell, New Mexico to Denton, Texas – Well, getting in so late and going to bed around midnight last night caught up with us. When our alarm went off this morning to get our butts out of bed and go run, we just couldn’t do it. It was still dark out, and we were…

– Mesa, Arizona to Roswell, New Mexico – It has been a very long day. We have packed way too many things into one 5-day trip. I wish we could’ve done 6 days, or even 7. Alas, Mark and I are teaching a Software Carpentry event on Wednesday and Thursday, so we will just have…
