Ride across the USA

[GoldOxide_imp]

Congratulations Django on a trip well planned and executed!

I'll wager that you visited more states and sampled more highlights than 75% of Americans. Most folks I know have never visited Washington DC, been to Yosemite, admired the grandeur that is the American Southwest, and toured Appalachia. For most, anything beyond 100 miles from home is "too far."

You may have a point LR.

When visiting TN I met a mini-bus group travelling from KY and they were so excited to be in TN. It was the longest trip they ever made outside KY. (No, they weren't seniors, but 30 and 40 something year-olds). Their destination: FL. They were so exciting I easily remember.

Not an empirical representation of continental U.S. folks by no means, but funny to share in their excitement.

I also asked them would they ever consider visiting Canada. Um, unfortunately they did not know Canada. I think one person said, "Is that Buffalo?".
