I just thought of a few neat things worth mentioning. First, I don’t know if it is coincidence, but I don’t think I have seem anyone in a public rest room wash their hands after conducting their business. Does that seem odd to anyone else? Must be a Non Virginia thing. Maybe they are saving water.
I had to stop the car several times on various nights to admire the night sky. Do you know how many you can see when you are in the middle of nowhere? There must be at least 100 stars up there. Maybe more but I quit counting at 100. It was making my neck stiff looking up.
I also noticed each state has its own “thing” about it. They are all different in many ways. But they are also beautiful if you enjoy the ride and appreciate them. They also all have alot of the same stars above. I didn’t know that. Did you?
Campsites for a tent are sometimes hard to find. The state parks are marked off most of the main roads, but it can be difficult to find one, especially since I don’t start looking till nearly dark. Living in the outdoors is fun though. You just have to learn to give up some amenities, like guaranteed daily showers. Once you get past that stuff, the Gypsy routine is not hard to adapt to. I don’t eat out much, unless I am stalking a WRWA contestant. I have been talking less and seeing more. My trip to Houston sort of broke my rhythm, but I’m beginning to realize that whatever I do on this trip will be worth the effort. Just seeing the people and land in this great Country is inspiring. It really is worth fighting for and the traditions are worth saving. My passion has been enhanced, that is for sure. I’m blogging from a Starbucks in Topeka right now. Weather has been very agreeable, but Texas in September is too far south for me and too hot and humid. It was in the mid – upper 90′s when I was there. Since I left, the temp on the route has calmed down to the 80′s. It is cooler in the mornings, but I don’t mind that at all.
Well so much foir this episode. Next stop, downtown Nebraska. Later fans. Drake
