Ok, So, We'll be headed on this grandiose journey that is a bit ambitious at this point, but we're going to try to hit as many of these destinations as possible. The exact roads to be taken are not planned ahead because Scottie and I both like to "wing it". That fact and that we are looking for support along the way in any way, shape or form, whether it's a place to stay or food to eat, a shower, a load of laundry, a job for us to do for a little extra food or food money. Any of these things would be beneficial to Scottie and I on our quest. We promise to be polite when appropriate and always entertaining, so tell mom & dad and grandma & grandpa we're coming too.

So now for the break down of the route destinations in the proposed order, get your maps out and follow along because that picture doesn't do it justice and I don't think you can blow it up.

From McClellan Air Force Base (just North of Sacramento) where I am based out of with Americorps we will be heading SouthWest to Oakland to see the Lawrence Arms play outside the Oakland A's stadium. Then from Oakland the real journey starts.
