When it comes to driving in a car for days at a time claustrophobia isn’t the best virtue.
In the past five days we have driven over 2000 miles, gone through five states and defecated in some of the best gas station bathrooms The South has to offer.
We did get to stretch our legs on a few separate locals. First when we went camping in the Arizona desert, about an hour away from The Grand Canyon. I busted out my wife-beater and bought a 32 ounce bud light so I would look the part. When in Rome I suppose. Read more…
It has been a few days since my last post, and quite an eventful few to say the least.
After countless failed attempts at renting a car in San Francisco the future of our road trip was in jeopardy. On Thursday, what seemed like a last ditch effort to secure a ride home went up in smoke when Hertz screwed us over for a fourth time.

I’m 22-years-old and not ashamed to say I’m still a mama’s boy. I arrived at Logan around seven a.m. for a flight which was leaving at 9:30.
What to do with the time? Read more…
If you have frequented random ramblings before (all five of you) you might have to come to read about basketball, wrestling, video games or other random topics. Over the next two weeks we will be mixing it up a bit by posting a running diary of my two-week odyssey I am about to embark on.
Tomorrow I leave for San Francisco with two of my closest friends. We’re flying out of Logan Airport in Boston, and landing in the city by the bay. There will be no flight back as we plan on driving our way home via rent-a-car. Read more…
