Leg 7: Wichita, Kansas back to Breckenridge via Salt Lake City & Moab It was time for me to venture out on the road alone, without Craig there as my safety net. If I get a flat tire, I have to change it in the cold. If my battery dies, or I break down in the middle of nowhere like we did...

Leg 6: San Diego to Breckenridge, CO After Baja, we made a pit stop in San Diego…for some more surfing and seeing friends, naturally. After a few days in San Diego, we packed up again, and for the last time. We drove in two different cars, over the next 3 days to Colorado. We took our station...

We went to the University of Indiana field camp in Montana. Weird right? Apparently there are a lot of people that don't like the fact that the State of Indiana owns land in Montana. The facilities are an old Japanese internment camp from WWII! Pretty wild. Sometimes I wish I had continued my...
