Westward, Ho…but first…

Leaving the Airport Cafe in Hampton, NH left me few good options when it comes to combining scenic roads with making decent time. This was yet another major difference in the two sides of the United States. With so much open space in the Western US (especially in the desert) you can normally combine the … Continue reading Westward, Ho…but first…

Of Lobster Rolls And Bridge Trolls

I had finally made it. Honestly though, it didn't feel like a climax. I decided to ride to Maine to get a lobster roll on a lark. I mean, what else was I going to do? And so here I was, in Hampton, New Hampshire, ready to cross over into Maine and accomplish my goal, … Continue reading Of Lobster Rolls And Bridge Trolls

Reaching The Apex

[The story continues, starting on the West Virginia and Maryland border, the Potomac River.] Antietam campground was peaceful when I woke, and I had my morning coffee on the shore of the Potomac.

Much of it is surrounded by trees and you can literally stop noticing the forest for the trees. Eventually though … Continue reading From Ozarks to Bluegrass– Eastbound and Down

Trailer Trash: life on the road, living out of a metal box

It's funny, but the day-to-day of my life seems pretty mundane: it's not quite monotonous, but it's predictable. Then when I sit down to do a blog post I realize a huge amount of stuff has happened and I can't imagine doing the story justice with only 1,500 words. I'm in Denver right now, in … Continue reading Trailer Trash: life on the road, living out of a metal box

Launching A New Project: 2hearts1horizon

Hello universe, I wanted to leave a quick note here on my site to let people know I'll be going fairly quiet on all my Johnny Killmore social media and the website starting mid-August. The reason is I'll be hitting the road with my girlfriend for about 5 1/2 months immediately after I complete my … Continue reading Launching A New Project: 2hearts1horizon
