Dreaming of Solo Women

February 8, 2010 – 6:00 am

I have been radically rethinking my radical rethinking and my brain is worn out. I am learning so much from you as I plan and process. It is impossible for me to imagine what this ’solitary’ journey would look like without you.

Vicariously living through other women’s adventures

September 29, 2009 – 9:12 pm

If  you are home,  bored,  and drinking that third glass of wine, I recommend you check out photographer Sandy Wheaton’s Route 66 blog.

Sandy is driving the entire length of historic route 66 and capturing some pretty amazing photographs as she goes along. Oh, and she is doing it while camping in a (bathroom-less) Aliner trailer [...]
