Depending on the day and mood, we can crank in some miles and enjoy the scenery or we can make frequent stops to enjoy the small towns we will be driving thru. I've never driven this entire route in one shot but have always wanted to so here's my chance. I hope everyone enjoys the day. See you Saturday.
