Montclaire NJ




I have made it!!! i am officially on the east coast with all its glory!





After making it all the way from Colfax Iowa to Hermitage PA last night i have finally finished the first leg of my trip. with a stop in NYC to see my cousins.




All i had to do was avoid these fuckers hitchhiking off the freeway near Punksatony PA as well as the State troopers who where hitting up the speeders like it was going out of style. luckily though i made it through unscathed and with out a hitch and three books on tape later i have completed my virgin voyage cross country i didnt find myself or lose my self for that matter but ive done it now and i know what it is...and knowings half the battle

Go joe!!

rockies and a new camera






i also made it thru the rockies today and i stoped in grand junction to get a new camera...thanks for the help bret.

here are the photos i got along that route

utah

utah was awesome i was listening to "under the banner of heaven" the whole way thru which was cool cause it was all going on right where i was driving thru.

my plan of checking out Zion nt park didnt happen due to my late start but i got to see a lot of beatuful scenery to bad my camera broke and i couldnt get any photos but i promise you it was cool

vegas



i lost my camera and missed a ton of photo ops in vegas which was my first stop and for my virgin trip it lived up to all the hype....i felt like they where gonna do a CSI episode about me.

I even ate at chilis...by myself awesome that places sucks and it really sucks alone

road trip


so i started my road trip on Tuesday august 26 2008 out to Maine to begin my life of wood widdledom.

the trip was delayed a little bit by a late delivery but it has been smooth sailing ever since. as you can see i got all my gear loaded up and am looking urban yet beach bum at the same time
