Day 1: Well I’ve heard the old saying “a journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step” I like it but I’m going to say (for PNW’ers) “A journey of a thousand miles starts with coffee!” We were up late last night / this morning putting the finishing touches on our old place, and packing the truck at the movers. Today we start our journey… our coffee pot is making it’s usual morning noises as I take notes… (ugh blogging every day for a week? I know it can be done)

So where are we headed next? Well first things first…coffee, then back to the pad for some last minute checks, turn in the DVR / modem / etc… to Comcast, a trip to the bank, then we’re on our merry way to our first stop! Spokane (yeah it’s a short drive when you look at the trip, but who can resist Mom’s cookin) So we’ll spend the night there tonight - maybe we’ll finally get some decent video for their website! ( Lanning Consruction Video ) Then off to a place I’ve wanted to visit since I can remember, but just kept putting off. The Montana Vortex promises to be a fun first leg to our journey. We’ll post pics and video when we can…. Then somewhere along the way we’ll probably run into my SEO 101 co-founder Brian Mark, then Ryan Sharrer, and maybe even a WRMineo!

Car’s tuned up, coffee’s made and I’m ready to roll! till next time!

I know I’m behind on the posts.. but I am taking notes and pictures… we’ll go back and do up the whole trip proper like BTW… the Montana Vortex was AMAZING!!! Our camera had a dead battery (long story) so I was only able to take pics w/ my LGVU - we’ll see how they turn out! For now here’s a pic of Mel on Mom’s front porch yesterday morning when we really started our trip - If you’d like to follow our road pics visit TwitPic & our 12seconds.tv channel We’re getting a bit of a late start today (especially since we have moved into a different time zone - we lost 1 hour already) But today is Billings MT -> Omaha NB (Look out Brian… we’re coming for ya!) Well I better get on the road 765miles logged yesterday… and 872 are needed to complete the trip today!
Oh yeah one last thing… if you want to send us a message your best bet is to private message (dm NeOBlog) on Twitter those are set to go straight to the cell phone - and even though this is BEAUTIFUL country the cell reception isn’t what it is in the Seattle area
