And Elsewhere!

Dear friends and family, I’m back on my bullshit on my blog and delivering some of those promised updates! So after splitting up with Chelsea in Enumclaw, my next stop was for that great technocracy by the bay, the city of Seattle. I have introduced many places into this rambling story across the continent, and…

Hi everyone, Apologies for the lack of updates, I’ve had extremely inconsistent cell reception and wifi ever leaving the Seattle area and haven’t been able to update the blog as much as I’d like. My posts are now about a month out-of-date with my travels, which mimics many a hiatus-hamstrung webcomic artist, whom I chastise…

Dear friend and family, WHAT UP DC IT’S YA BOI YUNG LEE COMIN’ AT YA LIVE WITH MY GANG, THREE LIVE CREW!!! WHATUP WHATUP WHATUP WE ALL UP IN THE CASCADES AND WE GETTIN’ ELEVATED!!!!!!! 📣📣📣 PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW (AIR HORN SOUNDS 🎺🎺🎺) By far and away, the best parts of this trip…

Dear friends and family, Leg two begins! Now I start my rambles up into the Pacific Northwest, starting from Sacramento, CA back on 11 June. “But why Sacramento?” I hear you ask, “why, Evan, why? Why meander to the sampy, inundated, golden state sloughs when you could ramble on up the coast?” Well, in short…

Dear friends and family, We come now to the final destination of what I consider to be “Leg 1” of my road trip across the country. When I was planning out my trip (and I had been planning this for close to 3 years), I broadly conceived of the journey as having four legs: And…

Dear friends and family, Okay so my last post was intended to be longer but I got carried away with the symbolism of reaching the Pacific and also very tired since it was like, past midnight and so just detailed one day going down to the coast at Santa Cruz. But it’s my website, so…

Dear friends and family, By the time I left Yosemite, I’d been on the road for 46 days and 9200 miles. I wandered into a campground that evening just west of the park down in the Great Valley, run by the Army Corps of Engineers around one of their irrigation dams down there: Pictured: the…

Dear friends and family, A quick story: About Mid-May, when I was still hanging around Mesa Verde National Park, I stayed one night at a hostel in Mancos, Colorado (the number of affordably-priced hostels I’ve been able to stay in on this trip is astonishing and some day I’ll write a post all.of that). I…

So it doesn’t take a member of the Brain Trust to know that I’m not much a fan of deserts. I say this from both a pragmatic standpoint (wind-blown dust is a major, major problem I’ve had to work around on this trip) and from a philosophical standpoint, in that a still lake in a…

Oh Zion, Oh Zion, you plush and wonderful boudoir, If I slept in the warmth of your bed for one-thousand years, And awoke still before your gleaming dawn, I would wait one-thousand years more for the morning light, Just to see the flickers of the day drift in, Oh Zion, how beautiful you make the…
