Off I went.”
“…Stopping in Southern Georgia at a little ‘greasy spoon’
for refreshment, I enjoyed some Sweet Tea. Listening to folks at the counter visiting, I
was amazed! Not used to their exquisite
southern accents, I couldn’t understand a thing
they were saying! I imagined myself in a foreign country! My waitress and I had
some fun trying to interact. I did have a great meal there. Onward - North and
West the Rand McNally took me on my way.”
“…Going through the mid-west I ran into weather. Being a
true Oregonian I was used to rain buckets, cats and dogs and the like. I was totally unprepared
for lightning, wind and frozen golf balls. Not sure weather to stop or keep
driving I turned up the cassette, singing louder, and continued on. Thank
goodness there was no damage to glass, although, I do believe, there were some
dents in the metal! Onward Mr. McNally…”
“… Montana early one morning, I followed a Moose down the
freeway for a mile or more. (Yes, a Moose on the freeway!) They are HUGE –
bigger than an elk, my Oregonian friends!
Finally he decided to jump the barrier and wander on his way. My first,
and so far last, moose sighting! By then I was familiar enough to address my
map by ‘Randy’, and we continued on together….”
“All in all the trip took about 8 days. As I traveled I was
amazed by all I saw across our great continent. I arrived in Oregon invigorated
and yet exhausted by my adventure. I do
believe however, that my co-pilot, Mr. Randy McNally, was worse for wear!”
“ I now ponder how long it will take my New ‘Randy’ to get
broken in on our impending odysseys…

Good post. Try a road picture or something to illustrate one of the scenes. A southern diner, a hail storm, or just a long lonely road. Fantastic job.
Thankx for the idea Mike!
