The ever-shifting road trip - blame Exxon!

So, a quick update since I've been underground for a month: the road trip is still on, but its scope and timing keep jumping around a bit. We went from cross-country to a western loop to a mid-Atlantic/northeast/Canadian loop, which is where it currently sits. (Sorry, my west coast friends - I don't think I'm visiting this summer.) In large part, this is due to needing to find a trip that won't cost our weight in gold in gas. If I find an oil company office anywhere along the way, I intend to stage a brief protest. (So we may need a bail fund as well ... actually, knowing us, that's probably a smart fund to have! ;-) )

Also its participants are in flux - someone (whose name may or may not start with an M) got engaged and says she is saving for her engagement party and wedding. We are still stealing her two-bedroom, two-bath tent anyway; we may or may not also trap her inside it and take her with us.

But worry not! A Brooks contingent will be departing for points vaguely west of us, many points which none of us have ever seen, and most assuredly for points where none of us currently reside. Stay tuned - an itinerary is coming!
