52 Days around the US

(Gary Jean photoworks) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 00:08:19 GMT

52 days, 10,000+ miles, 19 states, 5,000+ photos. Lots of National Parks, lots of bars. Hiking and paddling. Camping and motels. Cooking out and restaurants. Roads that disappear over the horizon without a trace of man (except for the road, of course). More stars than I've ever seen. A few big cities, mostly small towns. Small towns that always struggle to survive, but are having a harder time now. Sometimes a lot of not much of anything, which is pretty cool too. Lots of people doing things. Some people doing nothing. Very little Interstate highway (except for first and last days) means I saw things I never knew existed. Time (not enough) with family and friends. New friends made. Contact with nature. Contact with people. People are good out there. Most of them. If you don't read the news or watch TV for 52 days, you might just think that it's all going to be fine. The best times were with my sweetie, who was with me for the first three weeks. I'm glad to be home with her again.

Here are 101 impressions along the way.
