Next month a friend and I are hitting the road from Northern California to an island off the coast of Canada. Sounds like this book should make the trek with us ... thanks!

Hi!

May 26th, 2010 marks the trip of a lifetime; our adventure seeking lifestyles and our compassionate attitudes for the outdoors will be put to the ultimate test! Yes!, our GPS will be our best friend and there will be no turning back, as we will be driving coast to coast hitting major cities and over 15 states! These winding roads will also be taking us to pure ecstasy as we will experience the adrenaline rush of class IV rapids, ATV- riding in sand dunes, the jaw opening views of the Grand Canyon, the bright lights of Vegas to testing our capabilities of pitching a tent in 8 National Parks, and perhaps even surfs up in California! (And of course everything in between the breath-taking views of the Rockies down to the Redwood trees in the Yosemite National Park). As we are all big sports enthusiast’s we can not forget about catching a game at the old -timer Wrigley field to Petco Park, the home of the Padres! 40 days, 5 people, and 9, 000 miles in a Dodge Durango, will certainly feel like we are “Grabbing Life By The Horns”!


As we began mapping our routes and filling our piggy banks almost 10 months ago, blast off is quickly approaching! We calculated the overall expense of this once in a lifetime trip including lodging, gas, food, and spending money and the winning number is....$2,998.56! As typical college students, the money is scarce; however, we are all determined to empty our pockets and scrape down to our last penny to make this trip an unforgettable adventure! Just like MasterCard, 3 oil changes... $90 dollars, a flat tire....$150 dollars, 642 gallons of gas...$1600 dollars, a 37 day cross country road trip with 4 of your best friends ...PRICELESS!



This even gets better... the entire trip will be documented! We are going to tweet, blog, and video the entire trip! And here is the best part, YOU, can get in on the action! We are road tripping no matter what, but we want our friends and favorite companies to be involved to make it even more interesting, so we’re opening up our trip to sponsors of all shapes and sizes and we will do just about whatever you want in exchange for your donation! Keep in mind we will be driving 9,500 miles-- a good opportunity for some nationwide advertising with a decal! Also, we would blog about your company in our posts and add you link onto our website page!


Thank You,



The Road Trip Team
