The Beet, The Boot and The Blonde

“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” – Lao Tzu

Well, actually it is 1,013 miles between our starting destination of New Orleans and our home of Milwaukee. This, of course, is if you were to travel the most direct route between these two fine cities, but don't expect that.

After a two-year hiatus, original RRT'ers Robert Beets and Ben Butz, along with new addition Jason Lusk will converge into New Orleans by plane and car tonight. After two days in the Big Easy, they will squeeze in among all of Beet's worldly possessions and make their way back to Milwaukee by next Thursday.


The rules are staying the same with a few modifications:

1. Destinations can be up to three hours apart from each other
2. Each successive destination must be farther north than the previous
3. The interstate cannot be used, unless in extreme circumstances

How will three Midwestern boys handle the back roads of the deep south? What crazy attractions will they find? Will Beet's actually pick Jason and Ben up from the airport? The answers to these questions and more will be answered over the next week! Check back often as we will be blogging as we go.

Don't expect the road to be straight or the journey neat - the second random road trip is about to initiate!
