If you really want to see America you have to get off of the interstates and get onto the back country roads. These roads tend to be quite a bit slower and narrower than the main highways, but the views and scenery are worth every extra minute and mile. Pierce and I have seen elk and deer from just a few feet away, watched hawks and vultures hovering overhead, and have been able to pull over and throw snowballs and take the time to look at the amazing vistas.
Another perk about our smaller, less traveled roads is that we have been given such solitude from the rest of the world. We are enjoying our conversations and "intelligent" discussions (i.e. renewable energy sources, harvesting tidal flows and Stevie Nicks) while rocking out to amazing classic mid-western radio stations. We even had one road we drove for about four hours and in that time we never had a car in front of us and only 3 cars and 2 motorcycles passed us in the opposite direction. We are loving our journey!!!
