Kelly's SC to CA Road Trip

A long, almost empty highway stretching straight into the distance, the faded yellow centerline guiding the eye from the foreground toward hazy mountains on the far horizon. On the right side of the frame, a cheerful, hand-drawn cardboard sign reading “SC ➜ CA” lies near the gravel shoulder, weighed down by a small, well-worn backpack covered in quirky travel patches. The roadside grass shifts from lush green in the foreground to dusty golden tones further away. Overhead, a wide blue sky holds a few whimsical, fluffy clouds. The scene is lit by bright late-morning sunlight, casting crisp shadows and bringing out rich, saturated colors. Captured in photographic realism from a low angle near the pavement with a deep depth of field, the composition feels expansive, open, and playfully optimistic about the journey ahead.

About This Coast-to-Coast Adventure

My long-awaited drive from Charleston to California and back home again begins April 20, 2026. This travelogue captures the real moments between interstates, national parks, museums, libraries, and new friends.

Thanks to all of you for your interest in my trip and for your support over these past very difficult three years.
