"Data was such an important part of the trip," Bolton said.
"It was too bad that national parks don't allow dog along their trails," Mickelson said.
Now that the trip is nearing its end, both are experiencing a mixture of emotions.
"I'm not too excited to be going back," Mickelson said. "I'm not depressed, but I knew this would be a defining period in my life, and I don't in any way feel tired of the road, even after six months."
"I'm sad that it's ending, but I'm excited about the future," said Bolton, who graduated with a degree in political science, will commence two internships in February, one for a United Nations affiliate in Greenwich and the other for the Student World Assembly in Manhattan, N.Y.
After the trip, Mickelson intends to look for a photography or design job at a newspaper. While at UConn, he worked on both at The Daily Campus. At the same time he is pursuing avenues toward getting a book about their trip published.
"I want to get a book published not just so that we can relive it, but so that other people can know just what a great experience traveling the country is, and how worthwhile it really is."
