About a couple of month's ago my younger brother Adam (20) and our mutual friend Ethan (20) decided they'd had about enough of Western Massachusetts and thought they'd try out somewhere new for a change. According to the greatest names in music, film, and hip new culture, California is the place to be. The more they thought and talked about it with their friends and family, the closer this trip came to reality.
At first they were going to walk, then ride bikes, then maybe take trains, or buses. They started to buy surplus military gear off of ebay and over a period of some months they acquired enough supplies (backpacks, sleeping bags, cooking gear, laptop, etc.,) that they believed would be sufficient in order to survive.
I've decided to blog their progress, not only to keep a written, video and audio record of where they're at but also because I want to provide a way for their friends and family to keep track and to provide a resource they can use to connect with people they meet along the way.
