As Twitchy reported earlier, 23 of the more adventurous journalists at the HuffPost are planning to take a seven-week bus tour through Middle America to see how people think outside of the East Village.

According to Politico, the traveling party wasn’t expected to leave until September, but thanks to the hashtag #HuffPoInTheHeartland, photos and videos already are being posted of what we can only assume is the advance team scouting for areas with electric car charging stations and Wi-Fi.
I wonder what @HuffPost will discover on their tour across the Midwest. Can we hashtag this and start a trend?
