An L.A. Times article describing one man's geospatially analyzed plan to road-trip to all Lower 48 States in the shortest time possible. Tack on flights to Hawaii and Alaska and it's still possible to see the country in a week with continual driving.

Colorado Plateau and Grand Staircase
 |
| Sunset over Grand Canyon |
I love geography and geology! Which is why I have been studying them for the past few years. The best part about studying Earth Science is that field studies are required to see and understand geophysical features and processes. So I went on a week-long field trip to parks around the Colorado Plateau. We memorized layers of the Grand Canyon and Grand Staircase, discussed water use and allocation in the arid Southwest, the influence of different cultures and agriculture on vegetation and land use, and much more. If you're coming out this way, bring water. We're running low.
