The End
October 30, 2007 | by brett | Permalink
My distress has actually been going on for a few weeks. I haven’t written anything on this blog for awhile, have conducted a minimal amount of interviews, and have just tried to enjoy myself since Memphis.
But now, as I write this in El Paso, we’ll be facing the music in Tucson. Tucson represents the end of the journey. It holds skeptic friends, Noah’s mom, sponsors…all wanting to know what’s going to happen next.
There is a next. I just don’t know exactly what it is. But I am excited to take some time to reflect, to rest, and to find out what it is that I took away from this journey.
What the tour offered is unrecognizable at this point. All I know is that we accomplished what we set out to do. We traveled 16,000 miles in 120 days. Thirty-eight states were invaded by four guys in a wacky RV. People ranging from Jay’s cousin Tony to Zach’s friend’s ex-girlfriend’s friend opened their showers and their homes to us. We have over three hundred hours of film that consists of the hundred and seventy-five interviews and our personal escapades around the country.
I’m proud. My excitement outweighs any fear of what’s next. I know that I will look back on this trip and find the defining moments that established who I am down the road.
But it’s time to chill. And I invite you to stay tuned. We are going to do good things.

Wow! What a road show you guys have given me and Jay’s dad and family! I am so proud of you four young men. We received rave reviews from our families that hosted you. They commented on how much fun you were and how much they enjoyed your company. You shouldn’t look at this trip as the “end.” You know it’s the beginning, right? Love to you all and see you soon in California. Mom and Big M

It’s no suprise that you are feeling the way you do. You’re worn out. You’ve worked extremely hard. You’re tapped, that’s all. Rest and reflect. Talk to people, especially Jobing and ask them what they would do next if they were you. Continue to seek advice from experienced professionals to find out what the next chapter is in your mission. You’ll find it. I have no doubt. I can’t believe you have found the path you are on at such a young age. I’m extremely proud…

It’s been such fun reading your blog entries and seeing what you all have been up to! You’ve really covered a lot of ground, both literally and figuratively, and that’s certainly an accomplishment in and of itself, regardless of what comes of it. Keep pursuing your dreams, and you never know where life may take you. Stay strong, be persistent, and never lose your determination. Though I don’t know you all that well, I can tell that you have a good head on your shoulders, and you’re going to go far in this world. 
Take care!
