WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM????

I know, I know. The man has no sense of adventure. :-)



Rob's dad was that way. They were driving from Florida to Idaho
between
assignments (Dad was going to go to Vietnam for the second time) and
passed near the Grand Canyon. The whole family begged and pleaded,
but
Dad refused to make the detour. This year we're taking that detour.

Cripes, thats so *not* our family! We've been known to hop in the car,
and
then just drive, and just turning where the family consensus told us
to go!
It often means you end up in a dead end country lane, but sometimes
you
discover themost interesting and totally obscure places that you can
drop in
and say G'Day (they'll remember you, since they never get anyone but
locals
come through) when you are actually on your way to *somewhere*.

Even these days, I love just going for a drive, especially if its a
damp and
dreary day and exploring all the roads I possibly can. In fact, youcan
almost hear Joel groan when I say cheerily (as I'm turning into it) "I
wonder where that road goes?".

You would have gotten along well with my late husband. He was always
wanting to go for a ride. Sometimes we enjoyed it, but often he would
keep driving long after the rest of us were sick of riding in the car.

Tom *loves* new roads, particularly if they're little back roads. He has
a large atlas of Texas where he highlights every road he's been on. It's
quite impressive!

Sounds like he would have enjoyed our afternoon jaunt last Monday. We were
in Hendersonville, NC. Drove to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure. Fine so far, a
tourist area and well marked. Then drove to the south end of the lake and
didn't want to back track so headed up the east side of the lake. Now North
Carolina isn't big on road signs or highway numbers. Kind of figure if you
got there you oughta know where you are. We didn't have a map. But it was
a beautiful day for a drive and the rental car handled nicely. Besides if
you make enough left turns you have to eventually get back if not to where
you started, to some point along your way.

Don't know what bothered Charlie more, that I didn't know where I was going,
or that I ended up where I wanted to anyway.

Oh, my first husband and I used to do this, and it was *so* much fun.
Without a car or anyone good enough to drive one (ex-DH was a
professional delivery/cab driver), I can't go "get lost" in the
country anymore. I sure do miss it!

who once insisted ex-DH have a new experience and pet a cow along the
roadside on on of those trips ;-)

Alright, Yowie,

when I come to Australia, you can drive me down all sorts of roads and
help me explore the place, eh?
