Let's talk about Trans-Americas. No, we
don't mean the gender bender film starring Felicity Huffman, but
the fabulous journey that is the brainchild of journalist Karen
Catchpole and her photographer husband Eric Mohl. The duo has
decided to do what many of us dream about doing: they quit their
jobs, hopped in a car and will be seeing where the road takes
them. Armed with a brand new Chevrolet Silverado, Catchpole (a
former editor at Shop Etc. magazine as well as the late, great Sassy)
and Mohl (a lawyer in his former life) have just begun a two to
three year, 70,000+ mile road trip through all 23 countries in
the Western Hemisphere, from the Arctic Circle to Tierra del
Fuego. They're chronicling their journey on their website, and so
far they've hit New Orleans, the Mississippi Delta and Hill
country, as well as the Indianapolis 500. We love this photo they
took of the Shack Up Inn, the oldest B&B
(that's bed and beer) in Mississippi. Check out their ever
changing stats page too; so far they've spotted184 red barns with
silos, four mini golf courses and five taxidermy shops.
