Salt and Solitude: a white Polestar 4 with the plate EIDOLON1 on a desert highway at sunset, beneath an old map of the route west marked Hawthorne to Zion. Thank you for joining me on this trip. See you next year.

A Solo Drive West

A travel journal for Eidolon and the open road.

September 20 to October 1, 2026

One driver, one white Polestar 4. Twelve days from Hawthorne to the red rock of Utah and back, filmed in silence. The map below shows where Eidolon was.

…

Where is Eidolon?

The map updates about once a minute while the car is in signal. The full version lets you explore each stop, what it cost me to get there, and what I am listening to.

There is a jukebox further down, put a song on the playlist I am driving to.

The series

New episodes go up as the drive unfolds. No narration, no music over the wind, just the road. There will be some live-streaming when the network allows.

The first episode goes up once the drive begins.
