DAY SEVENTEEN: As our adventure draws to a close, we wanted to take a moment to thank you for sharing this experience with us! Tyler and I are excited to announce the Total Round Trip Miles this week which will determine the winner of the Route 66 Fundraising Adventure.

We did not reach our $1661 goal (two 1’s on the ends and 66 in the middle - symbolic of Route 66), but this was never about The Money.... I was always about putting eyes on amazing Charities and having a little fun in the process.

There is also a not so obvious message I wanted to share with all of those who followed our adventure. Life is precious and our time here is short. I could not afford to take 3 weeks away from running 2 businesses, but I couldn’t afford to NOT carve out this time to make a lifetime of memories with my son. We see so many people focused solely on making money and not slowing down to smell the proverbial Flowers.

We intentionally did not rent a car for this trip. We used my 2 door 2009 VW Rabbit “Work Car” with 144k miles. Anyone with the desire to take a Road Trip and make memories with someone special can do what Tyler and I did. You don’t need a large or low mile vehicle. You don’t need to spend $200 per night on a hotel. It’s not necessary to have every destination preplanned.

Exploring the Roads Less Traveled, meeting interesting people and experiencing the raw beauty of this amazing country with someone special are the memories you keep forever. I hope this trip helps to inspire others to plan a trip and make their own special memories.

Waking up one day with regret preceded with the long list of Should-a, Could-a, Would-a excuses is not in our collective DNA. Thanks for ALL the support! Now it’s your turn - Get out there and plan your own amazing adventure!

This is what happened on our last road trip.
Should I be worried?
ALSO.... We are driving a 2 Door VW Golf / Rabbit - 5 SPEED Manual Transmission with only 1 person who knows HOW TO drive a stick.
This should be INTERESTING as Tyler will learn the term - "Trial By Fire" and learn as we go.

The GOAL of this trip is to share some amazing memories on the Roads Less Traveled, set aside OSU Educational Funds and create an opportunity to be charitable by generating awareness and funding for some amazing charities. We sincerely appreciate your contribution and we'll check in from the road by highlighting you and your charity! THANKS!
