So last week I had the oppirtunity to spend 30 hours behind the wheel of my Honda Pilot while driving more than 1,800 miles in three days and crossing through three states.This gave me a lot of time to think and observe and take mental notes. I am sharing some of my observations from behind the wheel in this entry, in no particular order they are:
Passing through Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas it is no wonder why/how Wal-Mart is the world's largest company, seemed to be a store every other exit along the Interstate.
It had been more than 10 years since I had driven through this part of the country and there are a lot more wind-farms than ever before, a sure sign of the future no doubt.
How did people used to travel without satelite radio and navigation systems?
The Spectrum on Serius XM is one of the best channels to listen to.
If I ever buy a ranch it will be somewhere in California not any of the states I drove through last week.
Tulsa wasn't nearly as cool as I remembered it in college.
Like wind farms, there are a lot more Indian casinos dotting the landscape now than there was 10 years ago.
It is a good idea to not stay in a Motel 6 that was built more than 5 years ago!
Outside of the Las Vegas strip, Bass Pro Shop's Outdoor World in Springfield, MO. has to be some of the best people watching in North America.
Nothing beats sleeping in your own bed after driving 30 hours over the course of 53 hours on the clock. (Total miles driven 1,805).
