Issue 12: On the Road

Day Trippers

A summer road trip diary from a reader.

Meg Meldrum 08/28/2012
  • These pictures are from an adventure my friends and I had last summer, when we train-hopped to a beautiful lake. We called our trip TOOL (trip of our lives) because that’s the only way we could put it into words. —MM

  • Meg Muldrum is 19 years old and lives in Australia.

    GORGEOUS PICTURES!
    Too bad I don’t really have any friends to road trip with…plus I’m not exactly old enough to drive.

    no offense, but it seems like lately every other article on rookie is another eye candy photoshoot.
