Spending my final 48 hours in New York bleaching the walls and floors of my shitty Bushwick railroad apartment, in an attempt to remove two years worth of cigarette smoke and get my deposit back, could be described as a rather unceremonious exit from the city that never sleeps.

However what we were about to embark upon, after rescuing a sedated Milkavelli from a dimly lit opium den in New Jersey, was a road trip often cited as The One To End All Others. Well it was. Here are a selection of photographs taken somewhere during a 7,000 mile long ‘U’ shape route, driven from New York to California during a very hot Summer in 2014.
