Those days are pretty much gone. Just me and the dog now. I’d have to rent a kid or something. I tried to talk my son into a Great Southwest airplane trip but he showed no interest. Told him I’d buy the gas and had the route planned and all. That is the way to see a country that big with things so widely dispersed. A light plane.
You are right though. I need to go. Maybe this fall when everybody goes back to school and before it gets too cold. Maybe make the last cut of hay then head out northwest adn follow the fall south. My buddies I’d be willing to travel with are all gone now though. It is a long road alone.
I hope you get to do it!
Sharing the driving and laughs, makes it fun!
