Finally! A Nice Long Road Trip is Coming!!

Lookin' out at the road rushin' under my wheels
Lookin' back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In '65 I was seventeen and runnin' up 101
I don't know where I'm runnin' now, I'm just runnin' on

The last few years have been weird.  I have done a couple smaller road trips, mostly surrounding taking my kids to baseball tournaments or skiing.  I love doing that.  However, I haven't really set out on the road by myself, logging some crazy miles under my wheels, seeing some far and distant places.  I miss that.  This week, I get to do that again.  I'm driving up to Minnesota!

I spent the last weekend preparing, but also relaxing.  I got almost 1,100 miles ahead of me and I got about 30-hours to do it.  I want to be in good shape to do that.  

A distance like that seems like a lot for many people.  I know.  However, I know I have it in me.  I've done it before.  It will be just like old times.  Just me and Earle Bailey on SiriusXM as my copilot.  I can't wait.  No work to worry about.  No work deadlines or conference calls to deal with.  Just me and the road rushin' under my wheels.  I'll be back in one of my happiest places in the world.

I can't wait to see where my adventure will take me as I head to Minnesota on Thursday.  I have no set path, nor do I know what I'll see along the way.  I'll just have to see where the road takes me.
