It was a long day of driving with tons of farmland. I did get to stop at a Taco Bell though so I was super excited. We landed in beautiful Boulder, CO. I’ll upload photos of yesterday and today this evening.

Day 2….done
We covered some serious ground today. Pennsylvania…check, Ohio….check, Indiana…check, Illinois…check, Iowa…check. Super nice weather. 80+ most of the day and now we are topping it off with my favorite….a lightning storm including tornado warnings in Des Moines, IA.
Day 1 in the books
So we covered about 550 miles today. Massachusettes…check, New York…check. I missed the last day of the Brazil CT event but it’s going to probably be my lowest score on Fantasy Surfer ever so I wasn’t too bummed. Congrats Adriano. We did stop in Buffalo to visit my gramps and friends though. It was a long day, so after some sunset pics at lake erie(which was flat as a lake……) co-pilot LGabz and I called it a day. Of course I forgot the camera in the car so I’ll post the pics tomorrow.
The journey begins
So I’m officially on the road. I left Boston at 7:30am Eastern time. I’ll be updating everyday with where I am, how many miles I’ve covered and any interesting happenings.

Flat?….No problem
Flat?….No problem. This looks super fun. Who has a boat?!
Brazil CT event
As you may know, I am an avid fantasy surfer competitor. With the Brazil event on I figured I’d share my team for the event. I’m getting pretty beat up in round 2 and am already expecting a fairly average score for the event. If you haven’t been watching the event make sure you tune in tomorrow by visiting http://aspwtrio.com.br and remember that the contest is even a couple hours ahead of the east coast time zone.
