I left South Florida over a week ago & headed West towards
Colorado. I took my time driving out here to see odd random roadside attractions, friends, and amazing scenery. Below are a bunch of photos I took (in order) as I traveled the 2,206miles across parts of the United States. During the entire trip I experience record
high temperatures, often, but the things I saw & experienced were pretty amazing. I saw the worlds largest Peanut (monument), other Georgia oddities, and enjoyed the state parks...
I went way off the normal roads to check out the world's first folk art chapel by
Howard Finster. 'Paradise Garden' was, in one word, different. No one was there as I ventured around several acres of odd creations. REM filmed a
music video there as well.
From there I cruised through Alabama mountains & into the
mountains of Tennessee. I stayed in Nashville a few nights with some
good friends. Although it was super hot outside, I got to check out down town, the music scene, painted some, & ate good food. I really enjoyed my time there...
I then traveled through a long stretch of wilderness called the '
Land Between the Lakes'. Miles of wilderness, no other cars, and no cell service at all. Traveled through mini towns of odd little abandoned buildings and mountain folks. Then made my way to
Metropolis, the claimed home to Superman. Later, stayed the night in St. Louis and continued on my way. Stayed in a creepy truck stop in Kansas then finally made it to Colorado. I really enjoyed my time traveling across 9 states on a new adventure.
