It feels like the cross-country road trip is a part of my heritage as an American. In the spring of 2019, circumstances finally allowed me to take one of my own, and, while it felt more like something I had to do, more than something I wanted to do, by the end of the trip I didn’t want to come home and almost immediately started planning the next. That was supposed to take place in the following spring of 2020, but, like everyone else, my plans fell apart… not only in 2020 but also 2021. So, three years later, I picked-up where I left-off and am heading back out west. This time, I’m heading through the south and have doubled the number of days I’ll be out there.
