Just pulled up in Jackson

Just pulled up in Jackson and me and Kyle are on our way to Montgomery!

We're heading through Dallas right

We're heading through Dallas right now, about to get on I-20 towards Louisiana. We're hoping to pull into Jackson at a reasonable time tonight.

Colorado was a pretty cool place, minus the whole getting stuck in traffic forever thing. We decided to stop and get our first real food meal of the trip. I'm not sure that tex-mex was the best choice but it was delicious! If you're ever in Denver I recommend the Blue Bonnet. We are now on our last day and should arrive in Jackson sometime tonight.

The Mormon compound at 3 in the morning. Salt Lake City is a pretty cool place, its so big. Tomorrow we're hitting a bunch of state parks here in Utah, so that will be pretty cool. Right now we're parked on an overlook by the Salt Lake waiting for the sun to come up, and its really really windy.

Hey!

So if you're reading this then I'm assuming you allready know me and know what this is. But if for some reason you don't, then I'm Adam and this is my blog for our super awesome road trip. We leave Thursday, March 22 for a road trip that will cover every state on the Western side of the Miss. River, excluding Alaska and Hawaii of course. Anyways, I'll be updating this from my phone with pictures, and this post will probably be the most text on this page.
