After passing through the Rockies, the road from Missoula, MT, to Moscow, ID, was lined by wheat fields as far as the eye could see.

Goodbye, Montana!

The MobileBooth sitting pretty on the Clark Fork Riverfront Trail, in Missoula, Montana.


We took many a swim in the Clark Fork River, something we are not quite able to do so near our New York StoryBooths.

Nice commute

Hello Chicago

New MobileBooth facilitator Rani Shankar shamed veteran facilitator Brett Myers, who is staying on through the opening day in Chicago to help train her and her partner Nick Yulman. She employed expert navigation techniques to get the booth to its new home in front of Chicago’s Field Museum without a single hitch. Brett had set the bar a little lower. His motto was "If we’re lost for less than half a day, we’re doing pretty well!"

Lonesome road

The open road can be a mighty lonesome place when you are tasked with keeping safe the prettiest mobile recording booth on the planet and the most talented facilitators in the universe, but StoryCorps Advance Coordinator Zac Barr shoulders that responsibility with a wink and a smile, here on Interstate 94, en route to Chicago, Illinois.
