A road-trip travel journal

JathanForever

Two boys, one car, and the whole country in between.

The premise

Hi. We're Ethan and Jacob.

A year ago, neither of us could've told you we'd end up here — together, out, and pointing a very overpacked car west. But here we are. This is the summer we drive from Ethan's hometown in Vermont all the way to the California coast: no real plan, one cooler wedged behind the seat, three thousand miles of country we've never seen. We're writing it all down as we go — the diner coffee, the wrong turns, the stops that wreck us a little and the ones that put us back together.

Pull up a seat. You can ride along.
