Today is the second day of our drive to Portland, OR, and we're on day six already of a nineteen day run across the country and back. The six of us are all riding in the van together and although it sometimes feels like we're trapped in a box, so far it's been nothing but a blast! Yesterday we drove for thirteen hours from Minneapolis, MN to Billings, MT. And if everything goes well, we'll be staying in Spokane, WA tonight. This is the first time in my life I've ever driven across country; something I've always wanted to do. And what better way to do it too than with the guys in the band and getting to play shows here and there as we go?! At this point we've already played in Beatrice, NE, Twin Lakes and Eau Claire, WI. By the time we reach the end of these nineteen days we'll have played in Portland and Sweet Home, OR, Yerington, NV, Spokane, WA, Lewiston, ID, Great Falls and Sidney, MT, and Indianapolis, IN.

I've been taking some pictures along the way that I thought I'd share with you. Some are just goofy moments, some are of the amazing crowds we've played in front of, and some are of the most gorgeous country side I've ever seen! They really do speak for themselves...hope you enjoy!!!

Much Love,
Jason

Breaking out the "Flabongo" to celebrate the beginning of our trip...

My buddy Dominic w/Steel Magnolia soundchecking in Beatrice, NE. We did two shows in a row with them.

This is the kind of weather we were battling at Country Thunder in Twin Lakes, WI...

Because of the weather, they had to move us to the side stage. So this was at 1:30 in the afternoon...

And this is the same stage at 11 o'clock at night. In a word: AMAZING!

They call this area of North Dakota "Badlands". Personally, I don't see what's so bad about it.

This is our sound guy Aaron last night at the hotel in Billings, MT. He keeps it real.

My view from the side window of the van riding through Montana...such a beautiful state..
