ONE OF MANY POTENTIAL PATHS
One potential path for my journey, as of 6am on Wednesday, after fiddling with Google Maps for a few minutes during a spell of not-sleeping. The southern route comes first, swoop up through Montgomery to Atlanta, then on to South Carolina. Hit Savannah on the way back (Google here wants to send me back through Atlanta on the way west, which I don’t really want to do), then Birmingham, Natchitoches, Shreveport, Dallas (Hi Mom!), and finally home to Austin.
I have a feeling this will be changing quite a bit once I’m actually on the road. But regardless of my route, it’s a lot of territory to cover — nearly 3,000 miles. The cities that absolutely will not be crossed of the list, no matter what*, are New Orleans, Mobile, Atlanta, Charleston. I’ll hit smaller towns as I weave my way through the states.
Again I ask: What the hell have I gotten myself into?
And then I ask: Any suggestions?
*as with any solo travel or graduate project, the terms “absolutely” and “no matter what” should be taken with a copious dose of salt.
