Random Scan 5

Before you go...

Summer of 1995 I drove coast to coast. I started the summer in Maine for an Outward Bound course. From there I drove to TN to pick up my mother and do some quick maintenance on my truck.

My Dad's garage had a floor, lift and some steel beams, but that was about it. Luckily it was all we needed to get me on my way. My mother and I soon left for Tacoma, Wa. Took us 3 or 4 days to make the trip. We took the high route via Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and finally Washington. Once there, she flew back. I spent the next three months working for the City of Tacoma Parks and Recreation. I took inner city kids mt. biking, rafting, camping, etc. It was quite an experience.

To end the summer, I drove back with my Dad and my friend Dan (three of us in a truck going cross country). We took the low route back - Oregon, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Tennessee.
