Dayum, I'm jealous. Nothing like the open road to free the spirit and clear the cobwebs.

I'm really envious of his trip. Maybe someday......

I think anybody would like to do something like that, but there is always something in the way. It sure feels good to read about someone that does do it. I'm really glad he made it safe and sound, the way people are driving these days. I think that would probably be on my mind more than anything else.

A remarkable ride that has been a blast to read about in close to but not quite real time. Hell of a trip that one.
