In 1999, I was traveling around the US as a Cincinnati-based consultant when I was assigned to work in southern Indiana for a week. After seeing exciting places all across the US (Boston, Seattle, Ft. Lauderdale, Sedona), I thought a week in my Midwestern neighbor state had little to offer. It turns out I was completely wrong. Somewhere between hiking a gorgeous state park and visiting memorials to Indiana’s history and heroes, I realized that the US is full of beautiful and fascinating places. I also realized that if I did not make a plan, I’d never see most of it. So I set a goal for the new millennium, to visit each state, one by one, year by year, until I had seen the whole country. In order not to give preference to one part of the country over the other, or give up after seeing the most traveled destinations, I decided to go in alphabetical order. So in 2001, I packed up my curiosity, camera, and a notebook and headed for Alabama. Twelve years later, I am nearly a quarter of the way done, and thought it was time to share the experience. I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I do.
