Pre-Roadtrip

What up y'all! So I've decided to try out this blogging business on my road trip through some of the most beautiful parts of the Midwest. I've wanted to do this trip for awhile and figured while I have the time I might as well knock it out. I'll be traveling across KS, NE, SD, WY, CO and OK. Some of the key points I'm hitting are The Black Hills along with Mt. Rushmore, Devils Tower, Yellowstone, and much of the Rockies. I'm also climbing to the highest points of KS, NE, SD, CO and OK. This is something new I'm getting into known as Highpointing. The eventual goal is to climb the highest point in all 50 states! However, this is going to be a life goal and not something I can do in a few weeks. I figure these first 5 are a good start though! I'll try and post new information on my travels as much as possible, but I will be doing this all through my phone while out on the road so the updates most likely won't be very long. But, I encourage anyone to follow along with my adventure and hopefully I'll have some good stories to tell! Cheers and Happy Traveling!!
