This blog chronicles our ride across North America. We began on June 14th in Anacortes, Washington, and rode roughly 3400 miles to Portland, Maine, with breaks, over 37 days.


My name is Evan (26) and my father is Dave (60). This was his crazy idea.We have chosen to raise funds for an organization called the FHSSA, which has a new website here.


A donation page has been set up for our trip, on the National Hospice Foundation website

You all have helped us raise $2300 so far, so a big thanks.

If you want to know why we chose this fund, see THIS POST HERE.

If you want to be emailed updates, you can use the "Follow" gadget (on the right, below), as I won't be doing the weekly mass emails that some have come to expect from me. On the flipside, I'll avoid updating you on every cornfield we pass.

Picture Catch Up...2 Weeks of Driving Steel

All pictures can be clicked to zoom in.

We had recently changed our route to go to northern Wisconsin but we just switched it back again, for long-winded reasons. We will cross Lake Michigan on Friday. On a boat.

We laid down 370 miles in 3 days, so we're beat and I haven't been doing any late night writing. Tonight a local man strong-armed us into sleeping at his house. His shirt reads, "life is good."
