Road Trip!

"Road Trip!" Those words have always evoked a spectacular sense of freedom for me. In my day, I've gone a few doosies. There was the high school road trip to mythical South Whidbey. And who can forget Duck Itch Lake up in Canada? Both the eastward and westward Marilyn roadtrips were not to be forgotten as well.

The time has come for a new page in my road trip history. Much like the road trips of yore, this one is about the journey as much as the destination. What makes this one different, however, is that there will be no sleeping in the back of the car, picking up hitch hikers, locking the keys in the car, or blasting the stereo full blast. This road trip is just me, Scoot Scoot, and the open road. So with my sleeping bag bungeed on, a shiny new for my laptop (can anyone say "internet addiction"?), and perhaps an unrealistic sense of enthusiasm, I embark. Stay tuned to BdW for reports from the road.

You ever read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"? It's a good book. A bit dense on the philosophy, but kinda cool in promoting the worth of road trips via motorcycle...

If you and Scoot Scoot make it to good ole Iowa, we will let you sleep in a bed and give you a meal if you want!

You are so right- I hear the words "Road Trip" put together, and I start packing too!

Wren! Since you'll be going right through the area, let me recommend going to this spot. The earthcache has been deactivated, but that does not matter. This is possibly one of the most amazing spots I have ever visited, and would be a wonderful pitstop on adventures through the area!

I await future (and hopefully regular) updates!

I didn't think of it until now, by my hot spring suggestion goes quite well with your affinity for water features. And unlike your others, in this one, homelessness isn't a prerequisite for bathing!

If you make it to Bosnia on that thing, then you will also be my hero! And I'll give you a couch to sleep on and some chow as well :)
