On Sept. 12, the day after our sense of security was shattered, reporter Alex Tizon and photographer Alan Berner ventured out to chronicle what connects us, and what keeps us apart in their "Crossing America" series. Now, we continue our journey in a collection of reported "postcards." We invite you along, and hope you'll drop us a note in return.

travel it with independence and purpose.
