On July 29th 2007 Travis departed on a ten week solo expedition crossing the continent of North America
in his purpose build expedition vehicle. Setting off from my Arizonian home, I crossed the American
Heartland, through the Ozark Mountains then down to tropical Key West. From there I pushed northward
along the bustling cities of the Atlantic coast to Nova Scotia. A traditional Newfoundland dinner and
a ferry ride later, I turned back to the west destined for Colorado. Through the beautiful Rocky Mountains
to Utah, then following the range north into Montana where early snow storms presented themselves.
Pressing further on brought me once more into Canada, this time in the western provinces. Through the snow
covered Coastal Mountains of British Columbia and Yukon Territory, I continued toward Alaska. Taking a
final plunge north to Prudhoe Bay, I took on the Dalton Highway, eight-hundred and eighteen miles of mostly
gravel roads into the Arctic before returning home. Stretching over 22,000 miles, my journey was quite the
adventure.
