Road Trip North America
2009
On June 8, 2009 I departed with two companions on a 13,097 mile long road trip across the United States reaching into parts of Canada and Mexico. Road Trip North America (RTNA), as we came be known, picked up the fourth member in Minneapolis, Minnesota 12 days later. The trip was focused on documenting the vast North American landscapes and cultures through visiting National Parks and cities, and temporarily living with relatives and strangers. RTNA 2009 is a collaborative travel journal of recorded events soon to be published in book form.
