From December 3, 2009 to January 15, 2010, we (Max, Emily and Buzz the cat) drove almost 10,000 miles in our 1988 Ford Sportsmobile Conversion Van through snowstorms and deserts, trying to follow good weather and find beautiful spots. Here is our e-scrapbook of our very fun journey.
Each leg of the journey has a description, photos, links and attachments - scans of the articles, flyers and maps that helped guide us along our unplanned route. Click here for a selection of high quality photographs from all parts of the journey.
