Drive Across the USA - One Snapshot Per Mile
"Matt Frondorf says he’s so thoroughly an engineer, he even daydreams in straight lines. So when he daydreamed about a drive across America, he saw the trip as a straight line from coast to coast. Matt began his roadside tableau in New York City, where he framed the Statue of Liberty and shot his first photo. Then he headed west to San Francisco on as straight a line as possible, a camera at his side clicking away at precise one-mile increments, for 3,304 miles. When the camera clicked, it captured whatever happened to be on that particular American roadside—a stretch of empty highway, a street in a Midwest town, a used car lot, a herd of Herefords. "

My favorite sequence is a thunderstorm on the Great Plains around mile/frame 1730.

I did a roadtrip when I was a Junior in college with two friends of mine. We started in Illinois and went as far northwest as Mt. St. Helens in Washington, and as far southwest as Oceanside, California. We did route 66 in reverse on the way back. It was probably one of the best travel experiences of my life. Truly, I understand the "call of the road," as they say, as a rite of passage. I am impressed about this guy's page, though... and the concept is certainly intriguing.
