Check Out the Hot Wheels Car!

I tried to post this rare yellow Chevy Impala Hot Wheels car yesterday with no luck! This is a one of a kind car and I think you know why! I saw this guy bearing down on me in my rearview mirror and barely had time to get the Flip Video out and caught a side shot as he blew by! Those of you who know me well realize I'm a sucker for virtually any yellow car but then you add flames and I'm a goner, even if it is an Impala? Hey, it was a mostly monotonous day, especially when you stick mostly to the Interstate highway system. To really see this AWSOM country of ours, one needs to stay away from the safety and speed offered on the main highways and do a little back roads exploring to really get a feel for the area. When travelling by Interstate I feel as though you can't really tell what state you're even in at most exits as they've all gotten so homogenous with the same cross section of gas stations, convenience stores and fast food chains. When time permits, explore the back roads and find your own gems!

My Daughter Amber and I at the Beach!

Guess which one of us doesn't do the beach much! The hint would be motorcycle boots, long pants and an insulated long sleeve top! Bingo! I never was much for sand, surf and sun; it's nice to visit but wouldn't want to live there. Always have preferred the mountains and snow/cooler weather over anything else. Trips like this AWSOM ride are always a cool opportunity for me to visit some places for shorter periods before getting back home to the mountains, though after this trip I realize what we call the "Pocono Mountains" aren't really mountains in the strictest sense! Have had a great visit with my daughter Amber and new son-in-law John in Pensacola,Florida but the road beckons? Plus, when your daughter does your wash, folds your clothes and lays them out for you it may be a hint that the newlyweds are ready for Dad to migrate North! I've visited 30 states in the US, 2 states in Mexico, travelled 8,800 miles so far but still have 18 more states to visit and who knows how many more miles before getting home? I'm scheduled to be back at work by November 16 so we'll sign off for tonight and get some rest before our return leg starts! Don't forget the AWSOM ribbon-cutting at the soon to be open animal shelter is Friday November 13 and I'd like to be home for that!

Room with a View!

So far 8800 miles, 30 states, 2 countries and 1 AWSOM view! Got a $50
room in Vicksburg Mississippi on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
River looking out on a very impressive river crossing and trying to
envision the first explorers arriving here in the days before bridges
and such!? This area has been pounded with rain this year and water
levels seem high throughout the South! Sorry for the choppy video
edit, too long according to Apple! You only missed my panning out to
the next door Waffle House, another great American institution!
