wes middleton & brandi chalker
We are Wes and Brandi, the newlywed couple taking off across the United States (and hopefully a bit of Canada) in our vegetable-oil-converted school bus named Gimli (son-of-Gloin). We hope to see all 48 states on the mainland, and share our experiences on this site. The website for our route map is: http://www.travelblog.org/gmaps/map_3dE.html so you can see how far we've gone!
Here are some websites we love and think you should visit:
* www.couchsurfing.com a great website for travelers- our name is Weeze if you want to search for us
* www.vegrev.com This is the site for the mechanics who did the vegetable oil conversion on our bus
* www.nosweatapparel.com A good site for non-sweatshop clothing
* www.justiceclothingcompany.com Another non-sweatshop clothing company
* www.littlestarpizza.com Best pizza in San Francisco
* www.akpress.org Revolutionary online infoshop, books, shirts, CD's, etc.
* You can find us both on myspace.com
