My 50 States — Series One road trip map

The Great American Road Trip

MY 50 STATES

Fifty states. Seven expeditions. Absolutely no efficient way of getting there.

Robert and Mike have decided to see all fifty states.

This would be considerably easier if either of them understood geography.

Across seven collectible series, they will crisscross America in a spectacularly inefficient attempt to visit historic landmarks, legendary cities, roadside curiosities, national treasures, questionable tourist traps, and anything advertised by enough billboards to make Robert insist they stop.

This is not the shortest route across America. It may, however, produce the better stories.

The America They Keep Getting Distracted By

America contains extraordinary architecture, national monuments, museums, historic sites, and some of the most beautiful landscapes on Earth.

Robert and Mike are very interested in those. Unless there's a giant ketchup bottle nearby.

Final Call

The Journey Has Started

Series One is already on the road.

Six more chapters are waiting somewhere down the highway.

Possibly in the wrong direction.
