Boondocking in the East? Outside of Walmart parking lots there is no such thing. New England needs to be seen in Fall, but I would highly recommend leaving the big Fiver behind for there are but two choices...jam packed interstates full of road rage, or narrow winding country lanes with no shoulders.

Saw the below quote that someone post...Susan here. Saw the below quote that someone posted on FaceBook and it made me think of you Mark. Wonder why? Hah!<br /><br />“Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others…”<br /><br />― Timothy LearyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-27901722544989892492013-10-02T17:33:25.372-06:002013-10-02T17:33:25.372-06:00We love the West so much it's hard to contempl...We love the West so much it's hard to contemplate the huge trip to the East, we've got so much awe inspiring beauty right here...<br /><br /><br />Metamorphosis LisaMetamorphosis Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07637866156639686101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-3332630094176305062013-10-02T15:10:52.875-06:002013-10-02T15:10:52.875-06:00Beautiful pictures, as always.

I was in three or four states in a leisurely afternoon drive on the upper east roads... and in no hurry. I'm never in a hurry when I travel. I was just amazed jumping through the New England States. I even jig jagged several times because I wanted to explore each state more.<br /><br />In the West? ha... well, as we all know.. Texas takes nine days to get from one town to the next.
