Planning my trip

I am currently planning to do something I have always wanted to do: camp my way across the country. Many will think I have lost my mind because I recently lost my job of 11 years, but I think that there could not be a better time to do this. It will be a sort of cleansing for me. A washing away of the past as I look to the future. This is a trip I have wanted to take since I was in high school, and now almost 20 years later, I will do it.

My radio contract will officially expire on May 2, 2009. I thought it befitting to begin my journey on the ceremonious occasion. I will spend the next few weeks researching, planning, preparing, and testing equipment. I began my research yesterday and I can't wait to visit Four Corners and camp at the Grand Canyon. This is going to be a trip of a lifetime for me. Along the way, I am planning on using my time wisely by reaching out to possible radio employers and popping in for a little guerrilla style self-marketing to introducing myself as I visit cities where I would like to work.

In my research, I have discovered that most non-primitive camping areas have WiFi access. Upon reading this, I thought it would be very cool to blog my way across the country, telling of my experience through pics and video... and who know, I may inspire others to do something crazy, to get up and do something that they have always wanted to do.

Keep checking back as I will updating regularly as I prepare. Thanks for reading!
