So We Pulled Over

Curious travelers wandering around, stopping often, and writing down what happens.

Selma

The nucleus of the journey: the bridge, the movement, the city—and a deeply strange coda.

The journeys

Long roads, loose plans, and the stories we found by stopping.

Missouri to Memphis, through the Mississippi Delta, and onward toward Florida.

Three months of family, fishing, friends, campfires, dogs—and one very big yes.

Beauty and the Beast return for a two-week run from Arizona to Minnesota.

Four months of beaches, towns, border crossings, food, friends, and happy detours.

Across the country for the kids—with monsters, Mickey, beer, Elvis, and a great deal of weather along the way.

Now: the Southlands

Morning—and southward

Next stop: Twain country

South along the river

One more night in town

And then the plan went sideways

Now turn up the music

Keep driving south
