Ohio Tornado Valley-like & Cops would not allow us on the interstate

Traveling the first quarter of Ohio, we ran into zero issues. Soon after our very first hill bombs, Ohio state troopers started policing us actions and forced us to move off the Ohio interstate and take back roads. This photo summarizes our frustration not being able to hit the smooth & mellow road that is RT. 33.  Instead, we were forced to take backroads into Columbus, Ohio. How difficult was it? Lets just say we road well into the night.

We are back home!

We made it home Sunday morning. After a 19 hour bus ride it was so great to see the beautiful Chicago Skyline. We missed home a lot. As we look back on the trip we think to ourselves, how in the world did we do this? This trip has definitely made a huge impact on us. Some of us have changed our perspective on things, some of us appreciate nature more, and some have even changed for the better. 

The people we met on the road couldn't have been any nice to us. We would like to thank everyone who opened their homes to us. We would also like to thank everyone who said all the nice things to us and to everyone who supported us throughout the whole trip. And a special thank you to our parents for all the support and troubles they went through while we were gone. And for the extra financial help while on the road. 

Again,

Thank You

To all who believed in us

To all who doubted us

To all those that just didn't give a shit

To Jamazing aka Jamez Lagan Secundo For Realz

To Tony Michal

To all the Media Outlets

To all those that helped us out while we were in need of help.

We will be updating our site very soon. 

We will be uploading new pictures, reflections on the trip from each person, media coverage and a official trailer for the movie. 

Now that we are home it is time to start working on the movie. The adventure maybe be over but the work has just begun.
