SCENES ACROSS THE COUNTRY

A little blog about some places I’ve traveled to, what I saw and how I liked it.
I’ve always loved going places, just say ‘do you want to go…’ and before I know where, pretty much I’ll say yes. My dream job was cross-country truck driving, I was getting paid to be a tourist! Circumstances forced me to give that up in 2002, so to satisfy my wanderlust, I started taking road trip vacations. Vacations before that had been fairly limited, again due to circumstances. Then, in 2003 I did something I’d never done before: bought a brand new car - hey, I was 60, it was time to do something drastic like that! I named the car Big Girl (which is from a whole different story, as is the one about naming cars) and that fall took the first of my ‘extended’ road trip vacations: 4 weeks, 16 states and about 8,600 miles – and 61 rolls of film in those pre-digital days.
Since then there have been a few more road trips, short and long, and a lot more places, and so I am going to share, for those interested. Brief descriptions of places to visit, see, camp, eat, or even avoid, with my thoughts about them.
Hope you enjoy, and get some travel tips – and get out and see some for yourself!
