Eastbound

Oregon to North Dakota

31 August to 20 September 2004

The 1,000 yard stare.And so it ends, or begins rather.

The tour I’ve spent nine months planning while in three different countries is completed at long last. Below is a day-by-day breakdown of my actual route and time line across five states.

I’ve excluded nothing. The boredom and excitement, the laughter and tears, and the pain and fear are all here. They wait patiently for you to take a step in what was my world, my life, for 20 days. They wait with anticipation for you to feel them as I did. But most of all they simply wait, because sooner or later, we all roll over them regardless of the circumstances.

I hope you fair as well as I did.
