**** I set off from Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in July 2011, zig-zagged across America, and ended up in Aspen, Colorado, in February 2012. Along the way I visited 28 states, three countries, dozens of national parks, hundreds of cities and towns, and countless friends and strangers. I'd lost my job of seven years, my apartment burned down while I was out of town for a weekend, and I ditched a toxic dude. You'd probably hit the road, too. This is my virtual scrapbook of anecdotes and eye candy from a freewheeling, cross-country, cross-cultural odyssey--past, present, and future....XOXO Amanda Rae Busch

![GPOYW: ROCK LOBSTER!
The B52s were surprisingly awesome last weekend, and my girl friend snagged a balloon!
Note the down parka.
During the days, it was sundress weather. And then the sun shut down and it got really really cold. Like, Waking-up-to-a-thick-layer-of-frost-on-our-tents-every-morning cold. Brrr.
