Rust Belt Road Trip – Aug 2013

Summary

5 states, 1,999.9 miles driven, 12 national parks, 2 high points of flat states, and a bunch of other roadside oddities and attractions. I’ve now completed the states of Ohio, Michigan, and West Virginia. I also started a new tradition of counting the national parks, as well as recorded quite a few jump shots.
