Update #12 - Final Post

So, my trip is officially over. I am back in Howell now. Since my last update I have been to the Grand Teton National Park, back to Cheyenne, to Duluth, MN, Marquette, MI then back to Howell. Here are some pictures from the Tetons.


I want to come back to the Tetons during the summer. This is the most beautiful place that I saw on my trip. I had to cut my visit short due to an incoming winter storm. I ended up having to drive over a mountain pass at 9600 feet during a blizzard. Scary stuff.

James rode back with me from Cheyenne to Marquette. It was nice to have someone in the car with me. The drive seemed pretty short with the company.

So, I ended up visiting 26 states plus Washington DC. I drove just over 10,250 miles in the six weeks that I was on the trip.

Now I am going to spend the next few weeks preparing to move across the country again. I should be used to this by now. I am going to head to Phoenix over Thanksgiving weekend.

For people that have been following my journey, thank you. I enjoyed writing about my trip and I enjoyed reading your comments.

Update #11

So, it has been a while since I have updated. After New York I went to Phil and Lindsey's wedding in Pittsburgh. The next day I started driving to Cheyenne. I spend two weeks in Cheyenne looking for a job either there or in Denver.


Lori and James threw an Octoberfest party while I was there. Here is a picture of everyone dressed up.


And here is a pic of James, me and Sam. We weren't posing at all.




I spent two days in Denver job hunting and decided to take the scenic route back. Here is a pic from the drive back to Cheyenne.



With my lack of success in finding a job in Denver I decided to head down to Phoenix. After a five minute conversation with Rex, my old boss, I had secured a job back in Phoenix. So, I am moving back to the Valley of the Sun at the end of November. I am excited to get back to work.

I left Phoenix this morning and made it to Moab, UT today. Moab is my favorite town ever. I went on a short hike when I got into town.

Tomorrow I am going to drive to Jackson Hole, WY and see the Grand Tetons.

I am headed back to Michigan on Tuesday the 14th. James is going to ride back with me. We are going to take the long way back and go through Marquette to tear up the town like we did back in our college days. I am going to drop James off in Mackinaw City, then head back down to Howell.

That is all for now.
