Hypothesis confirmed after driving 4,700 miles, visiting more than a dozen cities, and spending 71 days on the road.
I’ve finally arrived in Portland, having arrived last night after a brief stop for fantastic drinks from Jeff Morgenthaler in Eugene. This week I’ll be looking for apartments and jobs while getting back to regular, hopefully more substantive updates.

I drove cross country in a week a few months ago. It was far, far too fast. Your route looks like more fun.
And you didn’t go to Salt Lake City!? I’ve always wanted to go there, I bet it’s really weird.
Here’s the route I took:

That link’s not working for me. I would like to go to Salt Lake sometime; the drive through the Utah desert was stunning.
What, too good for Texas now? I knew it all along, vole!!
