Since I'm in the spirit of blogging today, I'll make one more short entry. I know I have said I'm traveling west, but thats pretty vague. Here are some more details of my trip. I'll be leaving the Cincinnati area and heading west on I-70 through Colorado, up to the salt flats (where land speed records are set!), then on to Reno Nevada. Why Reno? Well... I wont say much about it other than I've come to the conclusion that its one of hidden gems of the west coast, among other reasons. If you want to know more... click This Link and some simple searching will help you out!
Here is the route as i have it mapped thus far:

And thats my plan for Rubber Tramping this summer. Thats about 2,250 miles! I'm budgeting for 2,500 miles.. so at (hopefully!) 15mpg, and a high estimate of $4.00 a gallon average... thats a total of about $675 in total fuel costs. For safety I'm budgeting $700-$800 for fuel, and about $300 in extra for living on for a few weeks. I do miss when gas was under $3.00 a gallon... though I never mind paying 3 bucks a gallon. Over $3 a gallon is frustrating... and $4 a gallon and over is completely and totally asinine.
