After traveling thousands of miles across the United States since May 26th, we've arrived for our last meal together at the promised land: Cracker Barrel. In a half hour Joe will board a bus in Indianapolis to ride back to Chicago and I will continue alone to Flushing, MI.
Fun facts from the trip:
Total trip length: 5,187 miles (attached is a map of our route).
We spent eleven nights with family/friends, five nights camping, and four in discounted hotels.
Sean never used or carried cash the entire trip. Only credit or debit.
Joe's favorite moments: Camping in the upper peninsula of Michigan and our night out in Nashville.
Sean's favorite moments: Our entire day and night in downtown Chicago and the dune buggy rentals in Silver Lake, Michigan (thanks dad for the dune buggy recommendation).
We are thankful for everyone who hosted us and we're glad to report to our friends and family that we don't hate each other after so many hours on the road. If one conclusion could be drawn from our trip, it would be that America's diverse people make our country great more so than beautiful landscapes or natural resources.
We also agree that America's greatness needs further investigation. Greatest Country Tour 3.0 may be in the works!
Glad both of you took advantage of your 60 days leave to see much of this great country by car. The blog was a great idea that made it almost as enjoyable for us at home as it seemed for you. Peace.
