markosis Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 A little history: I'm from New Jersey. This past June I moved to Los Angeles. Not much later I landed an internship with the New Hampshire Conservation Corps that starts in January, so I decided to move back east. The trip was pretty amazing. I'm sure some of you may know of the website couchsurfing.com. If you are a serious traveler, go and check it out now. Go. Its a networking site where travelers can find places to stay in people's homes (that's not a very good description.) I lined up a bunch of houses across the country for my latest trek. It was an amazing experience. It seems this couchsurfing thing has become quite a community, and its great. I was treated like a friend by total strangers who put me up in their homes for the night. It really gave me a whole new faith in the goodness of people. Anyway, here's some pics I shot along the way. I hope you all enjoy them. -Marko Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.miller Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hey Marko, it was a pleasure meeting you and playing music with you at the SoCal Wilco Jam. Very cool documentation of your trip. I hope everything works out for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Gyrrr Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 great photos there, how long was the trip? Also like how you kept all you beer cans from the trip and stacked them against the wall ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Cool! Driving cross country is something everyone should do at least once in their life. I did a cross country camping trip in a bus! It was awesome but since I was in a large group I did not have a say on where we ended up. I was also 14 at the time! I need to do it again in a car with me being behind the wheel!

markosis Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 great photos there, how long was the trip? Also like how you kept all you beer cans from the trip and stacked them against the wall ! The trip lasted 6 days. I could have done it in 5, but then I wouldn't have met Wendy in Maryland, and she was a really awesome host. It was good to take my time and see some things, anyway. I'll tell you, that guy was crazy about his cans! No cans made after 1975, no aluminum cans, domestics on one wall, imports on the other, all in alphabetical order. There was even a can of Wilco beer (I kid you not) but the picture came out very poorly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Cool site, markosis and nice photos. The Blue Ridge Parkway is a hell of pretty ride. Did you stop in Roanoke/Salem, VA? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markosis Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 Yeah, I came off I-81 and went through Roanoke to get to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
