At the end of May/early June, I completed another coast to
coast roadtrip. (I’m aware that I’m a
little overdue for this blog.) As
always, I greatly enjoyed the drive and the journey. I drove from the Long
Beach, California area to the
Southern New Jersey area and then on to the Boston, Massachusetts
area. While I enjoyed my usual favorites
of the Mojave Desert, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas,
the most impressive states of this past sojourn were Oklahoma
and Indiana.
I greatly enjoyed Oklahoma
because I often drive though that state at night and I had not realized how beautiful
that state can be – as it was very impressive during this last roadtrip.
Indiana,
on the other hand, presented very friendly and helpful people as I experienced
a minor vehicle problem (my windshield-wiper linkage sort of came apart in a
construction zone amid big trucks and during a light rain). The good folks at Fuson Automotive (a GMC
dealer in Terre Haute, Indiana) then squeezed me in their early
morning schedule and fixed my vehicle quickly and at a very minimal cost. As such, I would highly recommend them to
others (www.drivefuson.com).
This latest ride across the nation was a lot of fun. As all my friends know, I prefer to not
fly-over any states, by the way.
Odd,
though, how the two states which impressed me the most during this last
roadtrip are two of the states mentioned in the song/video that speaks of
“fly-over states.” See: Jason Aldean - "Fly Over States", located at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1GZzucDMlQ.
Let me know if you are interested in joining me on the next
ride across which could be very soon. :)
