Through the land of Florida

August 5th, 2008  |  by Alex  |  published in Video Episodes

We next headed south along Florida’s gulf coast to Dade City, north of Tampa. On the way, we stopped for a quick lunch at a Wendy’s in a gas station and David accidentally closed the connective end of our EVDO antenna in the passenger door. As a result, the antenna plug was destroyed by road [...]

Sitting ’round the fire

July 22nd, 2008  |  by Danbee  |  published in Video Episodes

Our time in New Orleans was unfortunately very touristy - we ate the beignets, we walked through the French Quarter, ate cajun cuisine, and sampled pralines. While we had fun, we were sad that we didn’t get a chance to discover the unknown of New Orleans. The morning was spent wandering almost in leisurely fashion, [...]

MUO’s First Battle Wound

July 15th, 2008  |  by David  |  published in Video Episodes

Muo is the name of our van. We gave her a name (and a gender) because the old girl has faithfully carried us for over 10,000 miles so far, and will obligingly chug us along another 9,000. She keeps our things safe, and makes it easy for us to travel the country in just one [...]

Pumpkin, Please

July 7th, 2008  |  by Danbee  |  published in Photojournal Episodes, Video Episodes

Before we departed Memphis, we headed to CK’s Coffee Shop, a greasy but fantastic little diner in midtown. After our delicious breakfast, we headed to Arkansas and points southwest.

Tis a flesh wound! -Paden Pierry

June 26th, 2008  |  by Danbee  |  published in Video Episodes

Deedoy - Tanner Tuttle

June 25th, 2008  |  by Alex  |  published in Video Episodes

Tanner was our host in Nashville, Tennessee. He took us swing dancing, watched movies with us, and even whooped our tails at Settlers of Catan. We had a great time talking to him about politics and America, enjoy!
