I'm still struggling with feelings of failure here

Please stop because you are *anything* but. You are brave and bold and living out a great adventure. You are constantly pushing past your comfort zone. You have been places and done things that lots and lots of sad, provincial little people would never dream of doing.

When Big'ol and I were moving in to our new neighborhood we struck up a conversation with a neighbor. We asked him by way of polite small talk, "Are you from around here?" And to our minds "around here" could be Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, etc. He shook his head with a firm no and named a town that is four exits down on I-95. To me, it is sad that his whole world is so small.

You, on the other hand, are living large and seeing the world. Keep at it. Keep seeing new places, doing new things, driving down new roads. And don't dispair .... you're gonna have awesome neighbors.

Yep! For sure...

Looking forward to the majority of this drive. Most of it shouldn't be toooo near cities or anything, and it'll be far more scenic than the last drive. Should see plenty of mountains and hill country! Rather wish I could be passenger part of the time so's I could do more looking around, but I should see a lot of it.
