In the summer of 2003, Charlotte and I decided to take a trip across the country by rental car (why a rental? Don't ask--it's complicated, dull, and annoying.), stopping at various friends along the way, seeing the sights, and culminating in our annual visit to the Burningman festival in Nevada. This is the diary we kept along the way.

I can't close an i tag, and I can't count days of the week. In my defense, once I noticed that blosxom and I were disagreeing on the date, it took several minutes of debate to persuade Lotte we had it wrong. For the markup messup I have no excuses at all.
In the below text, for Friday read Saturday; for Thursday read Friday; and for Wednesday read Thursday.
For "outlaw bikers" read "quantity surveyors" and for "wild unhibited orgy" read "tea party"... No, wait--I got those right the first time.
Yours contritely,
