9/9/15

Everywhere

At a convenience store somewhere in the south, an old woman (about my age) stopped to ask the time, the time zone, and what state we were in. I wasn't much help because I wasn't sure myself . I think we were both mostly in the state of confusion from too much travel!

This summer (May, June, July, and August) we have logged 12,000 miles on the truck and passed through as least some part of twenty-two states - North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, South Dakota, Colorado, New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.

We have crossed the continental divide. We have crossed time zones. We have crossed rivers, We have crossed the continent and we have crossed our eyes.

Here are some highlights from a few of the states we visited:

Now I can sing with Johnny Cash,

I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the deserts bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Travel I've had my share, man
I've been
E V E R Y W H E R E

but there's
No Place Like Home!
