As I told you in my last post, Adam graduated from SUU and made plans to work in South Carolina for the summer. Here he is on the last day of school, April 29, 2010. Gotta love the snow!!!
After two days of celebrating graduation and an early birthday, it was time to go!"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." according to Lao-tzu. For Adam and Clark, their journey of 2,100 miles began with backing out of the driveway...
Sunday, May 2 at approximately 6:20 a.m. they backed up and headed toward South Carolina. How long would this trip take? The trip itself was going to be 35 hours and they had 51 hours until Clark had a ticket for a flight home from Columbia, South Carolina! With that kind of time constraints there isn't alot to write about! Like the pioneer children who came before and walked and walked and walked and walked....they drove and drove and drove and drove....but since a picture is worth a 1,000 words, here is some of what they saw along the way!
Wyoming! Lots of it! They drove to Kansas City for the first night and got some sleep there...here is their view of the professional ball fields in KC!
Then they drove through St. Louis and saw the temple...(see, they didn't stop as you can tell by the passing cars on the freeway!) Also in St. Louis, the drive by view of the Arch... 
And finally, (because they didn't take anymore pictures after this!), the famous horse farms of Lexington, Kentucky...my old Kentucky home!
They also passed through Knoxville, Tennessee which I called home once, too! They successfully made their way to Columbia, South Carolina arriving well after midnight Monday night. A few hours sleep and Adam dropped off Clark at the airport and went to find his new home! That has to be some kind of a record for crossing the country. Adam's plan is to get to the ocean sometime this summer and then he can say he has been from coast to coast this year!
We talk to him everyday and it sounds like he is happy with his choice of work and the people he is working with. Here's to a successful summer of work for Adam!
