It begins...again.
Eons ago when I was young and cherry cheeked and had no frown lines, I used to faithfully blog for a small audience of family as I wandered around the country. I credit the fire of youth for such long term blog maintenance. Back in those days (a long seven years ago) simply having the words and pictures out there was enough, even if just one person saw it, because THAT could make a difference...until I realized it didn't, and watching Dexter was about as likely to change the world as writing my blog. And yet...a few people have asked Derek and I to keep a blog on our journey. So, in the face of my own pessimism, I've decided to resurrect this one, deleting all the old posts so I can't be embarrassed by old blatherings (only current ones, which are embarrassing enough) . And so, as the title says, in defiance of the aging process, where the flow of desire and ambition slow until overwhelmed entirely by inertia...it begins...again.

Can you tell us what this trip is all about, and where you're planning on going?
Hi Amanda, how are you?! This trip is about getting on the road, seeing the country at our own speed (or at least the speed three weeks will allow us), doing some research for a book I want to write (about a woman who travels across the country), pushing myself photographically and as a writer, and also taking Derek's car from its old home in Burbank, CA, to its new home in New London (or thereabouts), PA. We are starting in Death Valley, headed through Vegas, Valley of Fire, Grand Canyon, some places in Southern Utah, Mesa Verde, and then it gets a little foggy after that, places places, and maybe Arrow Rock Missouri, definitely Eureka, Arkansas ...and ending up in good ol' PA to visit the fam!
Lucky you! Have fun. Some advice from experience: make an extra set of car keys...You never know when you might lose 1 in a sand dune ;)
