Without the classic car (unless a Camry is considered classic), I did it after a marriage of 20 years ended.
I drove the US - Boston to the Florida Keys, Georgia to Denver - for 11 months. The Rockies, the Badlands, the Louisiana bayous, the plains, the deserts. No destination, just the journey.
@Stereoguy I talked a guy named Billy into taking me with him on his crab boat on Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana. A tiny restaurant in the S. Dakota Badlands in the middle of nowhere that had three-ring binders signed by people from everywhere in the world. The Florida wetlands that look like a dinosaur will raise its head above the trees at any moment. First sight of the Rockies.
@Mamapolo2016 I am trying to plan a motorcycle trip through the Badlands in September. Most of the people I have talked to that have been there have the most amazing stories about going there.
@Stereoguy A 1400 and an 800 Suzuki Intruder, an Ultra Classic Harley, a 1980 1000cc Iron-head Sportster, A 1200cc Roadster Sportster. A 1971 T500 Suzuki, a 1997 FZR600 Yamaha. Current favorite is a Honda XR650L dual sport and my son and I just bought a SV650 Suzuki Adventure. I have a few more that are in the project stages. I have been riding motorcycles since I was 4 years old. My first true love.
@LilithoftheTrees To the best of my knowledge, I have no Native American ancestry. But that trip through the Badlands - so beautiful, so forbidding - put me in touch with something.
