After graduating from Hamilton College in 2014 and spending my last summer in the field with Apogee, fellow Assistant Director Jack Messerly and I started our first fall away from the comforts of a college campus by driving across the country.

Our groups crossed bridges, belly flopped oceans, conquered (entered) cities, and drove homeward after some truly epic odysseys. ACC2 finally crossed the country after absolutely devouring miles all summer long and were rewarded with a
