We're on the road to our brown headed Daughter's house in Colorado! We haven't taken a road trip to this area for at least 8 or 9 years. For us old folks, we take our time on the road, spend the night along the way--always interesting to stop in a town you are unfamiliar with--finding a restaurant that has good food is on the top of the list! Look for parking lot with the most cars/trucks.
The drive can be long and tediously, especially through a city with clogged highways. We love taking the back roads through the countryside; two lane roads, lonely at times with no vehicles coming or going. Rolling down the windows to feel and smell the fresh air is a must.
Speed signs appear to slow you down as you enter the city limits of a small town--maybe population 200. Many dilapidated buildings lie by the wayside and you wonder what type of employment is in this area.
We don’t use a paper map any more. We rely on the voice through the app on our phone to give us the correct direction. Heaven forbid, you take a wrong turn—her voice(we have a female giver—never use a male voice!) is stern”make a you turn now!!” Some days I want to pull out that paper map and find my own way—but, there is frustration of refolding that map the way it was.
We do have a handy dandy book that points out historical sites—
