dozens of cities with interesting architecture, histories, and food traditions

road trips are better than destination holidays because they give you ~flexibility~ - you can pack whatever you want - you can go wherever you want (not just places served by major airports) - you can stop and check out roadside curiosities, or change your itinerary on a whimpic.twitter.com/CanjpMQWTT

i’ve driven the length the united states six times since 2016, with groups as large as twelve people these trips were the backdrop for many of my most formative experiences and deepest friendships, which is probably why i romanticize them so muchpic.twitter.com/9YPolbiBxy

road notes: 1. top quality clouds over nevada yesterday. puffy and light, unthreatening 2. the bonneville salt flats (land speed record site) have special mile markers for you to measure your speed 3. utah is pretty serious about drowsy driving 4. arbys deserves more respectpic.twitter.com/DZ53l6LjCS
