Desert Beginnings 2.0: The Great Trek Across America

Cheers everyone! Now that I've caught up on my sleep and have adjusted to the three hour time difference (though, the 100°+ temperatures are still a bit to get used to...) I thought I would give y'all a bit of better introduction to everything going on!

To start off the day we headed off to Corte Bella for an incredible Sunday Brunch. My family has been coming out to AZ and would rave about this awesome brunch that they had, but I had never experienced it—until now! Corte Bella is in a gated community, but their Sunday Brunch is open to the public, and boy is it worth it. Complete with an omelette and Belgian waffle station, this buffet comes with a plethora of fresh fruit, bacon and sausage, biscuits and gravy, and even a delicious apple strudel! Plus a bottomless cup of coffee—can't go wrong there.

Anyway, Gram and I have planned a potential route across the country which would get us to Cape Cod mid-afternoon on Sunday June 30. We're planing to drive about 450-600 miles a day, and with stops to see family and such along the way, it should take just about a week, depending on weather.

Here is a tentative map of The Great Trek!

But who knows... that may change. :D

If you'd like to keep yourself up-to-date on my travelings, I've found this site that lets me create and update a map like the one above. So, if you would like to check that out, I have the start and end points in now, but where we end up... nobody knows!

That's all from me for now. I should be back up tomorrow, in either El Paso, TX or Albuquerque, NM  depending on where we end up!

Ciao!
