On the road again - to the Blue Ridge Mountains
Really, this is a personal journal for this road trip but if my family and friends want to see what Minnie and I are up to - well that's okay too. Don't expect anything profound. I won't be writing long stories - just brief commentaries - and I'll be loading some photos of stops along my way. Enjoy! "Well, I packed my bags and I'm ready to go, might not come back for all I know, might not write and I might not call, might not send any word at all ..." ... lyrics from a song by Heartbreak Hill
