The appeal of the long distance drive.
Not everyone I know understands my love of a long drive. First of all there is the environmental impact. I don’t do nearly the long trip I used to do as I have become more aware.
Then there are some people (my wife) who just don’t appreciate spending a long day cooped up in a car.
Me, I love it. There are few things I enjoy more than driving a new road. It doesn’t have to be new, but newness enhances the experience.
It’s been six years since I embarked on a long road trip. This trip involves driving to Jackson Wyoming from my home in Chimacum Washington. After a few days there with an old Air Force Buddy I’ll drive up to Nelson BC, where I lived for three years while my wife went to school there at the art college.
I will write posts from the trip and post pictures on my Facebook page as I go. There may be some gaps when I am away from internet connections.
But I will be thinking about my readers.
Tomorrow (Saturday) I’ll be packing and Sunday I take off. I plan on sleeping in a Montana rest area Sunday night and arrive in Jackson the following afternoon.
