Day 1 - Embarkation

Since internships are hard to come by these days, I found myself without any plans for this summer. This could be my last summer without any obligations, so I’m taking the chance to do something totally reckless and irresponsible. I’ll be taking a driving tour of the country, visiting national landmarks, friends, and some potential graduate schools. The only rules are: no hotels, and no restaurants (unless they're culturally significant, of course).

My first stop will be West Mineral, Kansas, home of the world's largest electric shovel (11 million lbs.) still in existence. I'll be blogging about my progress and posting pictures at http://roadtripof2009.blogspot.com. Be sure to check back to see how I'm doing!
