We won't drive much this next month or two. We'll stay in Colorado and just
move from town to town once a week. But we have driven a lot lately, and
some may wonder if we get tired of driving long distances. In fact, some
have wondered out loud if we wouldn't rather have an autopilot to turn it
over to sometimes.
Good question. We just drove two thousand miles to Florida in five days,
worked for five days, then drove two thousand miles back to Colorado in five
days. If we were going to get tired of traveling, this would be the time.
We got springtime in the south. Green grass in full springtime growth
spurt. Wildflowers and flowering trees. We went from the beaches and pine
forests of the Florida south, to the bayous and bays of the deep south in
Alabama and Mississippi, to the gulf coast of Texas, then the piney woods,
prairies and plains, hill country, and windmills and wildflowers of flat
west Texas, followed by the high desert of New Mexico, up though Four
Corners, and sliding back into Colorado though the unknown, uninhabited west
side on a road we'd never been on before. All of this only during daylight
hours from a very comfortable chair with a very good view of all that goes
by, with Judy who talks to me and gets me coffee and club soda whenever I
want.
Do we get tired of it?
We savor every sight, sound, fragrance, and mile.
