The Road to the Championship: Part 1

Four boys enter a van in hope for a Gator National championship. They embark as four UF students hoping to spread the gospel that is the institution of UF to America, while in turn, experiencing America; thus transending these boys into manhood.

My name is Aaron Moore, and I am a co-conspirer of this trip. With me on the trip are Freddie Williams, Michael Stewart, and Jacob Vencil. It all started as Freddie and I, pretended to study for finals, began daydreaming about our perfect trip to the national championship game. We imagined a cross-country drive involving best friends, national landmarks, highways, farmland, mountain scenery, snow boarding, a whole lotta gator fun, ultimately landing us in Glendale, Arizona.

Today, that dream has turned to reality. The van has been loaded. We set sail from Gainesville, FL at 0600 hours tomorrow. Our first stop is Keystone, CO, where we will reside in a small mountain cabin where we will spend three days snowboarding. This first stretch of the trip about a 20 hour drive through the heart of the midwest, USA. A fellow member of the gator nation from Denver, CO is providing this cabin accomodation. We will update again from Keystone with details of the next leg of the trip.
