Whelp, we are now exactly one month away from that time of year again where I travel to exotic locales in order to find myself*.
Five years ago I embarked on my first Walkabout. In this inaugural Walkabout I drove from Dallas to Seattle and back; stopping off at as many National Parks as I could.

So I know what you must be thinking. “Those are some kick-ass places to visit. I sure wish I could join Steve and bask in not only his beauty but also that of our American wilderness.”
Well, you can. If there is a portion of this trip that intrigues you and you just gotta see** then leave a comment or email me or call me or text me or message me on Twitter or leave a note on my car and let me know.
And if you don’t want to join me, but know of a “oh shit man, you need to check this place out” spot on my route, please also let me know of that as well.
