Another video, for your enjoyment! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UO5X8df_6s&sns=em

I had never seen anything like it. At first, I thought that the smog had done something funny to my vision. The individual colors, blasted by the suns rays, were reduced to a shiny gray. It stretched out like the tail of a Diplodocus (after our stop at the Dinosaur Museum, I’m something of an… Continue reading The Carpool Lane

So I have to admit, this video is slightly embarrassing. I tend to sing quite a bit in the car and Ten caught some of it on tape. I just didn't know he was going to actuallyuse it in one of our videos! I only hope that my poor singing doesn't detract from the quality… Continue reading Video Blog #3

Only four more hours to go. While the landscape was still rather lackluster, we knew we had crossed the Arizona/California border for two reasons: 1) gas shot up an entire dollar, and 2) we were stopped at the “border crossing” so that they could make sure we weren’t bringing any forbidden plants or fruits into… Continue reading Day 11: The West Coast

Lesson #1: Cell phones are extremely unreliable in the middle of nowhere. Our previous night ended with a long drive along the rim of the Grand Canyon. We came from the western edge, heading towards the “south rim” to meet our friend (and fellow Hollywood hopeful), Tim. We were going to call him when we… Continue reading Day 10: The Grand Canyon

Ten and I have spent a lot of quality time in the car on this road trip. He's shared some of his fascinating experiences with me and has offered great insight. I asked Ten if he would answer a few interview questions for the blog and he readily agreed! Hope you enjoy getting to know… Continue reading An Interview with Ten

We were camping again. After a nice long stretch of people opening up their homes to us, we found ourselves in places where no one lives. Places like Mesa Verde. The campsite for the park was only four miles from the highway, yet it took nearly 15 minutes to get there because the road wound… Continue reading Day 9: Mesa Verde

We were officially in the middle of nowhere. Colorado seemed like such a hopping place just a few miles back. Now, as we continued on the road south, we were left gaping at the barren landscape and the rickety old gas stations that appeared every dozen miles. I couldn’t help but wonder, Is there anything… Continue reading Day 8: The Great Sand Dunes

“Okay, we’ve got the Garden of the Gods and the chapel at the Air Force Academy. Wasn’t there something else?” I said out loud to Ten as we drove I-25 S out of Denver. He shrugged and looked at the map. “Looks like there’s some caves up in the hills?” he offered. “No, no that… Continue reading Day 7: Colorado Springs
