Horowitz and Baldes are riding the roads through Google Maps' street view feature, virtually moving east while stopping to check out spots en route. They both "left" Horowitz's home in Los Angeles on Aug. 13 — where Horowitz is spending the trip — and will be "arriving" Sunday at Baldes' house in Richmond, Va. — where Baldes is encamped.

Thanks to YouTube, Flickr and other online sources, the pair has been able to virtually explore their entire trip. And they've picked up quite a few hitchhikers. The chat room accompanying their live stream has attracted about 30 people who suggest places to stop and see along the way.
