Inspiration


This photo, from 1915, shows Bud Baker and Dick O'Brien in May in front of the White House. These two high schoolers rode 10,000 miles to see California. It took them five months.

From Shorpy's 100 year-old photo blog.

This find reminds me of another website I read about a guy who rode his moped up the West Coast in search of Big Foot. He didn't see Big Foot but the story is hilarious and the site has a great song about riding mopeds.

And while we are on the subject of cross-country travel I'll also link to a beautiful picticle (article of pictures, term coined by MM) of a guy who hitchhiked across the United States and back with relative ease ... that is until he hit New Orleans.
