This Was a Triumph (Huge Success)

Yes, we’re still alive. No, we didn’t make it to all 30 parks. No, fast food will never, ever taste good again.

I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that because of Bob Harkin’s excellent article and shout-out to the site, we might be getting a few extra visitors here wondering just how the rest of our trip went. Surprise! We didn’t self destruct (much); it just became increasingly difficult to find the time to update the website between sleeping in the car and eating canned chili with a side of Cup ‘o Noodles. I really don’t have many great excuses for not updating the site in the six months after the trip, though. I’m going to blame “Completing College” on that one. Will that slide?

In any event — barring a zombie uprising — the site will start seeing a few more regular updates. We have a ton of random stories to tell, though some detail will be left for the book we’re attempting to write. We know you’re just itching with questions! Where are our intrepid heroes now? How many stadiums did they make it to? Was Tim Horton’s really anything to write home about?

Stay tuned, true believers.

Tahoe Rundown

Aman and I have now spent about two days in Lake Tahoe, California/Nevada. No, there's not a baseball team up here but his best friend is getting married and Aman had duties to ...

Week One

The first four stadiums in our trip have come and gone! I began my part of the driving on a Wednesday and met up with friends in Santa Barbara who showed me a really ...

Things You Can Only Regret in Hindsight

June 19, 2008 – 1:17 am

Ate pasta with a bottlecap. Border Patrol: "Do you have anything illegal in the car?" Aman: "I wish." Shaved, changed, and washed up in the above Starbucks' bathroom. Responded "I don't care what anyone thinks!" when questioned ...

Desert = Hot, Tire = Pop

June 17, 2008 – 7:54 pm

Interesting day yesterday. We learned a really important lesson: do not drive in the desert during the middle of the day. In the middle of nowhere (30 miles from Blythe, CA) our right-front ...

Salutations from Anaheim

We're in a Starbucks in Torrance right now after about an hour spent trying to access their wifi. We'll login later in Arizona, but for now you get to enjoy the above photo.

Trippin’ Out

June 13, 2008 – 9:45 pm

Text message from Aman: "So we are actually going to do this. It has hit me. Man!" I feel the same way. It's been pretty surreal the last few weeks. We haven't shared much ...

Triples Alley

It's been a while, hasn't it? Baseball has started up anew and we're already through the first twenty-five games or so. I get to look forward to Cain, Lincecum, and Sanchez several days ...

The Community

February 26, 2008 – 2:08 am

I originally thought: it’s not as if we’re doing something that has never been done before, right? Plenty of people have traveled in the spirit of watching baseball, and even more have traveled ...

Survival: A List

February 17, 2008 – 11:37 pm

Two things are always true in life: you can never be too prepared, and you can never have too much starting pitching. If I don't start planning for what I'm going to take ...

Quick Updates

After a couple of friends pointed out total mileage, I sat down and figured out if there was any possible way to shave off extra travel. When we first made the map, I ...

About Our Road Trip

This trip is a long time in the making. We're two college students facing an existential crisis. As such, we decided to plan a trip so epic and massive in scope that we would be practically inviting the new and interesting to come our way. What you see now is the tip of the iceberg.
