A lot of people like the keep diaries and scrapbooks about their vacations and how much fun they had with a vacation rental or just on a road trip. Two college grads recently took that to the next level and are recording a hitchhiking trip through all 50 states on their website http://hitch50.com/. It is really pretty amazing. They are hoping the kindness of strangers and a little bit of luck will take them to all 50 state capitals in 50 days or less.

You can view their progress at http://hitch50.com/. There is a giant Google map at the top of the page that tracks their movement via GPS! On top of being able to track them, you can always check out the daily blog posts, watch video clips and look at he photos they take along the way.

It is realy quite amazing.
