I am a 68 years old widow. Just got back from a nearly 2000 mile car trip through our beautiful Southeastern region. At the Tennessee Welcome Center on the Tennessee river, south of Chattanooga, I had one of those near tears gasps of "how lucky I am to live in this country where we can drive from one place to another with being carded and see things like this." I get the same feeling when I drive to Maine or Ohio. It is a wonderful feeling to be traveling in a car listening to Elvis and loving our America.

🙌 I’d driven from New Jersey to Washington twice by the time I was 22. And so many trips in between. America is so beautiful, vast, and there is nothing better than a road trip. My family and I RV and are getting so excited for our summer trip. (Though it’s hard to get very far given how South we are in Texas. 🙄)

yes, I used to drive to Canada by myself when I was still in high school. a 500 mile trip to the family cabin. The Queen Elizabeth Way in Toronto was no joke.

Chattanooga is underrated, but only by those who haven't been.
