June 30, 2009 at 4:10 PM is the exact date and time we left our home. We have traveled through 26 states and put 26,160 miles on our car. On the East Coast, we have been as far north as Bangor, Maine and as far south as Key West. From North Carolina, we went to the western tip of Tennessee, than south to east Texas, west to Arizona and finally north to Bearverton, Oregon, where we will be until mid September. We still haven't figured out what comes next, but we will be heading back to the East Coast while we make our decision. The map below shows our routes for the year. My son did this when he traveled across the country about 10 years ago and I thought it would be a good way to keep track of our routes.
We have seen much, as you can see by the number of posts on this blog, but as you can see on the map, still a very small part of the country. Many of the places we have visited we were not aware of until we looked at the map to see what route we taking to our next destination. It's amazing how much you find that way.
I'm sure we will continue to travel, but it will probably be a month or two a year, not an entire year or more. I don't know how many years it would take to see the rest of the country (the way we have done it), but I doubt if that will happen, with as big as it is.
I'm still a few posts behind (from before Oregon), so keep checking periodically.
