What I Did for Summer Vacation

From August 11th to October 9th, I was on the road shooting Job Corps locations around the country. It was a trip of approximately 4,986 miles, during which I saw 18 states, 12 different hotel chains, three dying or dead cities, and one sexual rendezvous in an Iowa gas station bathroom.

Check below the jump for the Google Map.

I had to break the map into two pieces to fully show the entire trip.  It also doesn’t show that I started in Pennsylvania, but I did.  The map is divided at Charleston, WV, and picks up there for the rest of the trip.

I took photos in several states, got souvenirs from just a few, but there are definitely some towns/days I have lost completely. Most of Kentucky and Missouri is just one big swath of my life that I am never getting back.

But, it was all worth it, to be able to afford to take @gozombiego and the Zombielets somewhere nice for Christmas.
