“America, across the fruited plains by auto”

Now that is one unappealing thought, even thought I have done it.
Now this:
America, across the fruited plains and mountains and desert by motorcycle
Is not only appealing, it is something I do at least once a year. Cars are necessary, but motorcycles are for pleasing your soul.

If traveling by cycle these videos might be made for you. Alton Brown from The Food Network had a series entitled Feasting on Asphalt several years ago. Riding across America on his cycle.

Hope you enjoy

I’ve driven across the US 9 times. Now no one in my family or friends wants to do that. I have 1 or two more trips in me.

If it were summer, I’d drive across Canada and zig zag back across the states.

My summer trip this year will be a three week long trans-Canada rail trip starting in Vancouver, B.C. and ending in Halafax, NS.

Thanks for sharing. Road trips are fun - the sights along the highways is what makes the fun The interstates that criss-cross our country, no matter how convenient they might be, have taken a lot of fun out of road trips. Interstate for fast; the highways and by ways for a more unique experience. Think “Psycho” one would NEVER see the Bates hotel on the interstate. :-))
