Yes, my roadtrip would be quite different from yours, Karma . . . don't you think that this is an enjoyable way to learn about each other's country ?

The Indian Mound I mentioned was on property owned by a university, so we were not doing anything illegal . . . as a matter of fact, the bride was a student there at the time 

mountains                                        

Natural Bridge - a rock formation in Virginia (sorry, no kangaroos running around in the wild)

Painted Desert - Arizona

     Sorry to say, my friend, I can neither hop, nor run . . . a spinal cord injury and arthritis took those abilities away from me . . . but life goes on . . . I'm content with the "new me"

Thank you, Karma, for your concern and advice . . . have gone through rehab numerous times to get as far as I have . . . the viral infection caused me to lose total control of my lower body and they, at first, were trying to teach me how to live in a wheelchair . . . I told them that I had faith that I would walk again . . . proved it, too . . . I thank my good Lord every day for the ability to get around and even drive the car . . .

roadside vegetable stands

In the summer alot of folks who grow more fruits and veggies than they can consume or preserve set up roadside stands . . . Also some to to Farmers' Markets and sell their produce . . . nice fresh locally grown "goodies" . . . YUM !!!

traffic (lots of it in the summertime, heading for the beaches)
