Brian Holt, and Farley Jams, all 20 years of age and from Los Angeles, California, decided to make their summer vacation one which they’ll always remember.

When asked how many miles they travel per day, they answered with an average of 80. As far as places to sleep and eat, they look for any convenient location. You are probably wondering why anyone would want to do something like this. Well, can you think of a better way to see everything you want, meet people, and save gas? To tell you a little more about them, Bruce Sanchez is majoring in Ecology, Brian Holt in Economics, and Farley Janis in Computer Science. Also, all three are juniors in college. I'd like to take this opportunity to wish the travelling trio the best of luck and a safe trip home!
