Put the Rubber to the Road

Lets get somethings straight here, I don't want to come off as aggressive right in the intro, I want you at home to slowly get that my life is devoted to the pursuit of competition and success. This blogs purpose is to get down to the details of road trips and ground travel. As I said, competition and success has a lot to do with driving the thousands of highways and interstates that intertwine the country. I have been traveling consistently for the past two years now and will go public with all my stories, trip calenders, and thousands of photos to visually tell my stories as why I choose to go where I go for what I love to do and see.


Why:

In 2012, I began to become highly fascinated with the satiety of malls and interstates and realizing their is generally more in this country than Chicago, IL, where I reside in the dejected suburb of Aurora.

It was summer and I had plenty of time on my hands off work, and began researching stores and shopping centers that interested me.
I started out small, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan were the first states
I went to that consisted of trips that were one day long, maximum driving time to destination of three hours for a specific town of mall.


What's Covered:
During a typical trip, my use of a camera is quite consistent as I photograph the highway and interstate signs, cars, roadway achievements (astounding concrete art) as the famous Google search term "Texas interstate stacks", scenery.


As we approach the destination I set up a tripod with a camera attached on the dashboard to film as we drive were to trips goals are achieved.


Overtime, my trip plans and vacations have become extensively more elaborate, as well as detailed to where to adventure takes place
Example:
July 2012-
"Home to The Orchards Mall in Benton Harbor, MI"

This is considered a "one goal in mind" trip where I leave home with the intention of going here and only here.

May 2014-
"Home to-
Kmart in Waterloo, IA
North bridge mall in Albert Lea, MN
Mall of America
(hotel 1)
*ALL OTHER MALLS IN THE MINNEAPOLIS AREA
La Crosse, WI
Eau Claire, WI
Home"

There is really nothing into putting a trip or vacation of mine together, its the process of planning the days and studying the maps that make it all worth wild to see the end result of actually being where you want to be and truly enjoying what you love to do. Whether by yourself or with family, these are something I highly encourage people to do and not take for granted, check the news daily, things change in the matter of days in the retail world, and its worth to go somewhere and say 

"hay, I shopped at Robinsons-May when I went to the South Beach Galleria in Redondo Beach, CA in the summer of 2006."

This is too much for anyone to read and possibly follow, but the gist of it that this site is dedicated to the in depth highway and interstate traveling part of any traveling trip that I am involved with
Focusing strictly on to "are we there yet?" scene of the drive
When it comes time the reaching the malls, shopping, and time in the West coast sunshine
The Pacific Coast Highway Bixby Creek Bridge-Monterey, CA.
, or bypass' of before my time, cars and anyone food, restaurants and product releases, that will all be covered in my other blogs:


I hope you enjoyed this, rather personal first post on what this blog will be about and what this blog will become, as well as the others listed above I operate and hope you can accept and understand with my choice in posting stories, products and photos that are two years old to catch up with all my past stories and discoveries to get everyone up to speed.

Thanks
