I left Tacoma, WA 8/15 Broke down in Yellowstone and made it to New England and now in Atlanta for a few weeks before heading to the Keys till March.

All the best ...and the finger just means your #1! Hi Jason, Angela, Bode,

I’m on my own Vanagon trip circumnavigating the country. I left Tacoma, WA 8/15 Broke down in Yellowstone and made it to New England and now in Atlanta for a few weeks before heading to the Keys till March. I thought my aspirations were ambitious till I read your blog. Amazing!! I will be sure to stay tuned. I have my pic’s on facebook with some tales from the road. I like your format a lot better.

All the best …and the finger just means your #1!

You didn't say whether the "mulitple lanes around us" were to the left or right.
