I’m sure most of you remember our past ‘Guest Traveler,’ and a college friend of mine, Brian Triplett, and his 8-month trip around-the-world that we wrote about in a post last July. Well, after circling the globe it seems he didn’t shake the travel bug just yet, so he’s recruited a friend and set out on an equally adventurous endeavor: to walk across The United States of America.
