The Road is West

After graduation I set out on a trans-continental road trip with two friends from college. We called it "The Road is West" and the goal was to travel from Japan to Alaska the long way by car. It was an adventure that didn't go as planned from day one. It ended up taking three times as many cars as planned and we never quite reached the finished line. Even though the trip was cut short, it was a journey I will never forget.

During the trip we kept a blog (find it here). The original website is no longer up and running, but the blog has all the exciting moments of our trip captured fairly well.

Our cars and us:

The first car, a 2002 Subaru Forestor, all prepped in Vladivostok, Russia.

Our second car, a 1996 Lada Niva in Mongolia.

Our third and final car, a 2001 Subaru Impreza in northern Norway.
