Road Trippin Preview

The Dudes-
If you are reading this you probably know both Spencer and myself (Corey), but if for some reason this blog has gone outside our circle of six friends you might want to check out the bio post that came before this.

The Plan-
The basic scheme is that the two of us are going to get in my car and drive around the US for the next 3 months. We don’t really have a route or actual plan to speak of. We are going to be trying to stay off all major highways and interstates and experience what small town America has to offer.

Our starting point is Bellingham, Washington (which as far as I can tell is the farthest NW point in the continental US) and from there we are heading due south. We are going to be making stops as frequently as we can find distant relatives or obscure family friends to impose on. If we can’t find people to stay with we’ll be illegally camping on the side of the highway.

Along the way we plan to divide up our time between our 5 main trip focal points.

1. Seeking out and interviewing people we find to be “interesting”. These American heroes will be your mentally unstable, your grossly intoxicated, the spiritually enlightened, and many other forms of transients. There is a lot that can be learned from those that pushed the limits of the social norms to the breaking point and never quite recovered.

2. Doing drugs (Mushrooms, acid, paint huffing, Quaaludes) in interesting locations (desert, mountain top, grandparents basement) and seeing what subsequently comes about.

3. Seeing some cool shit around the country (Grand Canyon, all dinosaur parks, World’s biggest tractor tire, Niagara Falls, funny named towns like “Weed, CA” and “Sodomy, WV”, you know stuff like that.

4. Go to as many comedy shows or other funny events (Evangelicals, NASCAR races, etc) as we can on the road.

5. Find peace of mind and our paths in life. By completing the first 4 objectives I see this one pretty much falling into place.

What we are bringing on the trip-
2- Dudes
1- Car
8- 30 liter totes with our shit in them
1- Video camera (we will be videoing pretty much everything we do)
1- Large Bag full of Weed, Mushrooms, and Acid
1- Larger bag full of unsalted almonds
1- Annoyingly positive attitude
1- Dangerously negative attitude

- Bellingham, WA (jump off)

Some of the main goals for the trip are the following-
- Find a new spiritual adviser in the form of an old homeless hippie who we pick up at a truck stop
- Not go to jail with a sentence longer than a month (at a time)
- Go on a vision quest in the dessert
- Try to survive in the wilderness for very small stretches of time
- Restore the good name of LSD which has been unfairly tarnished since its heyday of the 60’s.
- Figure out just a little more about what the hell is actually going on in this crazy world

This Website-
The main focus of this website is just going to be us telling the story of this road trip. We will be putting together the posts jointly, but one person will actually be doing the writing from his voice. That person will sign the bottom of the post and be using a different font. I can't promise this site is going to be funny at all, but I will say that everything we put on here will at least be loosely based on the truth or what we can remember of it. We are going to try and update as often as possible (everyday or so) with stories, pictures, and videos from the road.

Besides all the stuff from this trip we are going to try and put up some other intesting or funny stuff. Such as…

1) Old Live journals from our past journeys
2) Funny pictures, videos, and links that we steal from other funny sites
3) Maybe some other random thoughts and stories we have heard or made up

Well that sort of covers it. Leave a comment or send us an email at BumHairCuts@gmail.com if you have anything funny to say or just let us know someone is checking out the site. We would both really appreciate any feedback. I am excited about what this journey has in store for us and I hope you enjoy the site.
