It is February 8th and I am sitting in our kitchen wondering what just happened. We drove over 4000 miles covering every state in the Southeast. It is an area with a rich history, wonderfully diverse cultures, and blessed with a biological environment the makes you hope that man does not destroy it. Are we really on top of the food chain?
All said, the most lasting memory will be of the people we met along the way. With almost no exception, everyone was friendly,warm, helpful and inviting. Campers just strike up conversations which last for quite awhile. Waiters and waitresses spent time explaining their part of the world. Bikers gave an insight to their life, and older folks exhibited so much energy that it filled us with hope that we can do many more of these trips in the years to come.
Robin, my wife, best friend and co-pilot was a real trooper through out the trip. It was with trepidation that she was in the RV seat next to me on that cold January 3th morning. As the trip progressed I sensed a reduction of stress and a feeling for both of us to be in the moment. We discussed next year’s winter sojourn and the only debate is how much longer to make it!
To those that read these long drawn out missives, thank you.
