Road Trippin!!
"As some of you may already know, I'm planning a cross-country road trip this summer. Want to come for all or part? I'm serious - give me a shout if you do.

We have a tentative list! Unfortunately, Mexico, Southwestern U.S., and the South are not going to happen in this trip. Highlights include getting to see some cities in the midwest I haven't seen, spending time in Chicago and looking at schools out there, spending some time in every awesome city on the West Coast (duh!), the Redwoods (which are amazing), seeing Seattle for the first time, and runing across the country with some crazy cool amazing people.

Please please please comment if you live in any of the following places or know someone that I also know who lives in any of the following places. We're lookin out both for people to see and for places to stay, especially in the less trendy cities in our itinery.

Friday, July 25: leave Providence
Friday, July 25 or Saturday, July 26: Buffalo, NY
Saturday July 26 thru Monday 28: Chicago, IL
Tuesday July 29: Madison, WI; St.Paul/Minneapolis, MN
Wednesday July 30: Rapid City, SD (Mt. Rushmore)
Thursday July 31: Yellowstone Park, Wyoming
Thursday/Friday July 31/August 1: probably camping somewhere in Montana, Idaho, or Western Washington. Anyone have an idea?
