Road Trip 2.0

[Laurie]

Hi Folks,

   I think it may be time to begin another road trip. Some nonsense about promises to visit some strange short woman and friends in Florida. I may be heading south  into California first, then east through Arizona and from there to Florida and as usual I don't know where from there. I could head up the eastern seaboard or head to Missouri, Kansas, Colorado then home. Or I might not. You know how wishy washy I can be. I've told my sister I may be gone a short time or a long time. I have no appointments at all in March and April.  Once I throw my stuff in the pickup I could be off to who knows where. Know anyone along that general outline that may need a hug??

Hugs,
    Laurie

@ Laurie: A few of my very best road trips did not have a firm schedule or reserved lodging... in some parts of those trips I just took the road that looked interesting without a final destination in mind.  Along the way I always enjoyed exploring little towns, eating a local diners and finding small mom & pop bakeries to get my fix of pastries and coffee.  I trust that you will have fun!!!

This is your warning! Lock up and hide any dogs you have with a name that rhymes with "Pride."

   What you describe is pretty much the way I like to travel. During daylight hour I am apt to be on a 2 lane road or a gravel or a dirt road going in the general direction I am heading. At night I'll hit the interstate to cover more ground and find a rest stop.
   This is Road Trip 2.0 because I already did a Road Trip with documentation from start to finish. It was wonderful and changed my life. You can take the link if you would like to read about it.

@ Laurie: several years ago I went on a 4800 mile road trip on old 2 lane highways and roads and was only on the Interstate Highways for less than 100 miles... you can sure see a lot more of the country than if I had stayed on the Interstates. 
It was sad to see the small towns that have been bypassed by the Interstates... some of them were almost ghost towns with closed gas stations and closed and vacant buildings.  However I met some very nice folks in towns like that and found some interesting small shops and small restaurants... they were grateful for my business and they were most friendly to have travelers stop in.   You are right about finding rest stops and perhaps gas stations off of the beaten path... so I was very careful.

  Yes, the small towns are nice to see and usually have good food. The sights are so much better too. I tend to mosey during the day turning here and there but heading in the general direction I want to go. That first road trip covered 8003 miles in a day over a month.

I call dibs on a hug when you come to CA.  Then if we don't get makeovers, could we go shopping?  I know, I know ....no agenda is fine too.

Give the truck a polish to make it water proof and when you get to Florida turn left and keep going. One day-----
