rssRoad Trip
I-80 across the US
For the past two weeks I have been busy helping to plan a trip from San Francisco to Maine. This has taken all available time so I have not kept up with posting. I hope to return soon.
This is the first long drive for my daughter, and she did not have a true idea of the magnitude of the undertaking. But she is beginning to appreciate the actual size of the country. In a time when we can get from SF to NY in less than a working day, it is easy to forget how large the country is. Driving at night, through a seemingly endless, seemingly empty land, brings home the real size of the US.
She is driving at night because she has her cat with her and it is too hot in the daytime for his safety. She does get to see parts of the country where she is stopped for the day for sleeping. People have ranged from very helpful to very unhelpful, human nature everywhere. She loved Utah with its canyons and colors, and Wyoming with its open sky and cold mornings.
But she will especially love getting to her destination, home in Maine.
