Well, I'm a little over 1700 miles into my drive from Florida to Washington. My goodness, we have such a beautiful country!
Wonderful rolling green hills through Alabama and Mississippi. Breathtaking views of valleys and the southern end of the Appalachians. Hilltop farmhouses and silos dotting a landscape of fertile land, a place that provides us with so much. Truly breath-taking.... I am so glad I chose to drive to my new home in the west :) |

Hit the Natchez Trace!!! Use your Google Fu! I rode my Goldwing 125 miles of it after Shiloh and it is amazing.
No Semis, stop lights or stop signs for 400+ miles... Totally beautiful. You're Welcome! _________________ Banned for calling GOD a racist! Oh that's tight, Seattle guns is DEAD! |

Nothing says welcome to the west like a trip through Nevada with a quick stop at the Bunny Ranch.

Amen, I have been all over the US, no place I would rather be than Washington. It's not perfect, but it's now home. When I was a truck driver I got to see all western 11 states. You can keep the southwest, Texas, Arizona and so-cal. I will stay right here..  |

Weird.....maybe I'll retire in the south. Or right here! Bring on summer baby, nothing better. _________________ Why does the Penguin in Batman sound like a duck?

in sep 07 I left Ft. Gordon, GA (Augusta) 3 days before my Bday and drove with a friend back to Ft. Lewis, WA. Wanted to make it back ASAP and as cheap as possible so me and a buddy switched off driving and made it in a total elapsed time of 44 hours. stopped only for gas. Good Times. Safe travels!
