After visiting my aunt and uncle and cousins in D.C. for a few months, I finished building to car out in Chicago.

Using apps like iOverlander to find spots to park and sleep, I made my way from Chicago to St. Louis to Oklahoma, back to Chicago, to Tennessee, Georgia, the Carolinas, D.C., and then Long Island, where Ilan joined me. Together we went to Boston, then back through Chicago to Arkansas, and Houston. He stayed in Houston while I went through New Mexico to Denver alone, then we met up again to visit Las Vegas, Death Valley, and the Sequoias. We stopped in Yosemite, Redwood National Park, and San Francisco before beelining up to coast, stopping to investigate tide pools and pick berries, then Olympic National Park.
