Bridgeport, WV - Ocean City, MD

This is the last post from my Route 50 trip across America. It was good to finally come home but I could have kept going. We woke up to play a round of golf in the rain and set off to the finish line in Ocean City, MD. I live in Silver Spring, MD but in order to make the trip completely official we had to drive to the end of Route 50. I've been to Ocean City many times as a native Marylander but never this late in the season. The boardwalk was closed and the weather was awful but we made it there in one piece.

It took us 16 days and about 3,800 miles or more to drive from San Francisco, CA to Ocean City, MD. Would I do it again? Absolutely. What would I do differentlyI would research more about the Midwest and try to venture out onto different routes. We got very spoiled out in the west. My favorite part of the trip? Utah and the Arches National Park. Without a doubt one of the best places I've ever visited. So beautiful pictures can't even being to describe. 

The End.

Emporia, KS - Union, MO

After we crossed into Missouri, the trip began to feel more familiar to what I'm used to on the East Coast. More trees and green vegetation. This day was a stretch and couldn't find a lot to photograph along route 50. I had to bring out my phone and creatively search for interesting stopping points. Unfortunately sometimes you can only do so much. 

Points of interest were the Ragtime Museum,  a 2000 Foot Radio Tower, the Giant 8 Ball Water Tower, and Jefferson City.
