You are welcome! Thanks must go to all that have posted here and keep us going.

We took a last second trip and I am way behind. We went to Ormand Beach, Fla. and up the coast to Myrtle Beach . We have always wanted to go all the way to Maine but this was all I could take.

I promise not to go into an insane rant on the shape our country is in. Someone around here had a tag line something to the effect "Laugh at the absurdity of it all" that is what we will do and I will stay in small town America. smiles

...."I will stay in small town America"...........

Mr. RR and I just returned from a road trip to southern Colorado. (had to visit a sick relative) The trip from Rapid City, SD. to Cheyenne, Wy. was wonderful. Very little traffic, good weather. No problems. We traveled on I-25 from Cheyenne,Wy. to Pueblo, Co. It was a nightmare. Two years ago this trip (from Rapid City to Pueblo, Co.) took eight hours. This time, it was eleven hours. The traffic was unbelievable! And this is in the wild, wild, wide open west! I can't even imagine what is happening on the coastal areas. Around Denver and Colorado Springs we were caught in traffic jams that were comparable to ones we have been in Shanghai and Mexico City.

What a mess.

I agree. Think I will stay home. Everything I need I can find right here.

A side note.......seemed like every other car was full of "other than Caucasians".
