Last week I prepared for (one day) and executed (≈ three days) a one man driving expedition to Oregon. Following an arduous route through the Great American Desert, the first day I journeyed from Kearney, NE to Little America, WY. I traversed the much less daunting segment of my chosen route the second day to arrive safely in Susanville, CA. The final interval allowed me to arrive at Medford, OR in high spirits, Looking For Adventure . . .

To avoid any confusion I should point out: That's Dennis Hopper.

          The first two days were tedious in the extreme as most drivers were hellbent on getting from origin to terminus with little interest in the intervening TimeSpace.

          The final half-day was exhilarating as most drivers were Driving in The Moment, savoring the many awesome events filling the TimeSpace from beginning to end.

          I wish more people could enjoy the journey. Remember: Life is only a journey that has but one goal, Death. So, if you do not enjoy the journey . . .

          While traveling great distances in the western states I often drive through construction zones where contracting crews are repairing and upgrading the highway pavement. Not so in Weed, CA. In Weed, CA the contracting crews are engaged in Pavement Rehabilitation ! Yep, if you don't believe me take a trip and see for yourself. It will be well worth your time.
