 I wanted to go exploring what holds the country together and to try to help us see a little bit more of ourselves on the other side. That all sounds very high-minded, but did you really just want to go on a big road trip? Well, that was definitely part of it, for sure. I hadn't driven cross-country since I was a little kid when my parents packed us in the family Vanagon and off we went. So, yeah, the pull of the road was part of it, for sure.
