We just passed Sacramento. Switched up drivers. Nimesh knows Cali
roads better anyways. So yeah, probably 2-3 hours left depending on
traffic and home sweet home.
There is a moment in everyones lives where you have to make the
biggest decision of your life, besides paper or plastic. For two
adventurous travels this is ours. We can't let everyone down.
And so our real journey begins. The road trip was just a cover. We
already stopped at Area 51 to get intelligence and pick up supplies.
Side note, if we told you the shit we seen in Area 51...dam!
Little did we know that Nanuk was implanted with a navigation unit
and he will be our guide.
So we bid adieu to you all in the hopes that our mission is a success.
Remember when they erect the statues in our honor that I am holding a
really really really big gun. Nimesh just wants to make sure his hair
is styled as realistic as possible.
With that I leave you with this last word of wisdom, "the".
P.S. - Since we are saving the world and all, we made one demand and
it was to tell us how "Lost" the series ends. And one word "totally-
awesome". Ok two words.
Amit out!
Anyone want me to put some NCAA bets down...hehe
Welcome to Nevada. This picture is supposed to be the Nevada sign, use
your imagination. Correction on last post it was supposed to be 520
miles to Reno. So now we are about 400 miles to Reno. Math might be
off for those of you who are paying close attention to what I am
writing (thanks UB40!)
For some reason my iPhone changed from MST to CDT, instead of MST to
PST. I guess my phone wants to go back to MD.
Don't be fooled by the smiling face we are groggy and cold. Another
early start. Approximately 520 miles to across Nevada and another 300
after that to home.
Hopefully better cell coverage for the remainder of trip.
Holla!
We living large tonight! Made it to Salt Lake City as planned. It
cold out here can't wait for Cali warm weather.

As you can see from the picture we can't see 50 ft ahead of us. We are using this truck as our guide. Blowing snow on mountain grade roads. We are driving extremely carefully which means this will set us back in regards to how much ground we cover today.
Ok peace the out home freshies, we will check in once we are out of this crappy weather.

Wyoming is proving to be not as boring as that other state before we
passed through which was so boring I forgot its name already.
If you look closely in the pic you can see the mountains with snowy
tops. We switched again, Nimesh is driving, he is now battling the
mountain terrain along with 40mph wind gusts. I don't think Japanese
cars were meant got this, but it's holding up well even though
sometimes we had to feed it with some janky no name gas.
Wow was Nebraska boring. Also there was some limited cell phone
coverage. Nimesh tried to post some stuff and didn't go through. Don't
worry you guys didn't miss much.
We are in Wyoming now getting a bite to eat. About 350miles until Utah
border. We will probably stop over in Salt Lake tonight.
Hopefully we will come a across more interesting things in Wyoming.
Just left hotel. On the road again. Not much here really to take
photos of, so i took a picture of our breakfast. The picture is blurry
because our eyes are blurry from the early morning start. Thats my
story and I'm sticking to it.
We have travelled approx. 1058 miles of 2800, which is pretty decent.
Time to drive, check in later.
We have checked into the quality inn hotel off of hwy 235 exit 8a on
3rd St.
Eat some food and get to sleep. Early start again tommorrow.
We have just crossed into Iowa. Approx. 150 miles from Des Moines.
Which is most likely our first overnight stop.
Here is a Iowa fun fact. Some famous Iowans: john wayne, president
herbert Hoover, William "buffalo bill" Cody, Frederick Maytag
(inventor) and Johnny Carson.
Apparently Iowa had to cut budget on state signs, which results in the
pitiful picture below. Something about spending money on childrens
education. Whatever. Maybe the children could read if they made the
signs bigger, huh - did you think of that Iowa?
Nimesh is driving and rocking away to The Killers. Special K-Rock
edition!
Still in Illinois on our way to Des Moise, Iowa. If all goes well we
may even reach Omaha, Nebraska tonight. Also we gained an hour with
EST to CDT time change.
Please keep posting comments, gives us something to read.
Still working on my picture taking in moving car skills.
Nimesh still driving. Pictured here is the fuel that is keeping us
awake this early. Purple is fruit punch flavor and red is dragon
fruit??? Either way first thought that came to mind when we tried the
energy drinks was how it would taste with vodka. Pretty darn good me
thinks.
Smells like skunks for about 10 miles, that our someone in the car is
lying...haha.
Next update should be from Ohio...
Stay tuned for frequent updates during our trek. Never know what will
happen.
Oooo the suspense!
Stay tuned for more posts, including Road Trip Across USA 2008!
We be bloggin' - yeah!
