Epiphanies:
  1. 575 blog entries are time consuming.....even if they are just pictures
  2. Richie makes a crappy co-pilot, but a great travel companion.  He is always there and willing to be petted to help reduce my blood pressure.
  3. This is Sandy's 5th trip coast to coast (not sure she appreciates it now as much when she could look out the window for 'bad' trucks. 
  4. Sometimes it is the little things that make your long day driving better, like a White Castle or In N Out sign
  5. This is my 20th coast to coast trip (east to west or west to east) and here are some things I have seen or learned in those 20 trips.
    • There is a lot of beautiful land in this country (even from the interstate)
    • There is a lot of open, unoccupied or low occupancy land / areas 


More to follow
All of them seem happy to be home finally.
