Our third road trip in the past 11 months is now in the rear view mirror. All three of us have really enjoyed driving around seeing the beautiful sites and meeting many wonderful people that call this great country home. It is amazing to me how resilient our society is, as we did this all while the world has been dealing with the coronavirus pandemic.
When I have hiked on the Appalachian Trail or ridden my bicycle I have always enjoyed sitting outside a local store and watching and talking with the people of small town America. These roads trip have been the same concept, but covering a much larger geographical area.
The US is very easy to get around. There are great roads everywhere. It was eye opening to see how America works from the farmers growing corn in Iowa, the ranchers of Texas with their cattle, mile long freight trains and trucks everywhere moving product so we can go to our local store (or log on to Amazon) and purchase just about anything. As consumers we take most of the supply chain for granted.
As far as “what is next?” we don’t have any real plans at this point. Elizabeth has a busy fall with the return of in person corporate events. Click the link below to read our recap of this trip. Thanks for following along.
This is the most heartwarming assessment of our country. Much needed in the midst of sadder news. Thank you! Lovely! Xxx kath
