Have driven in segments from the Florida (my home state) Keys to literally above the Arctic Circle, where we camped, as well as near Mt. McKinley.
Had driven the Alaska Highway from Rapid City, South Dakota to Fairbanks in the dead of winter and out 3 1/2 years later in summer.
Was there for the Good Friday Earthquake in 1964.
Lived in Rochester, New York and twice in Ohio - in Virginia, North Carolina (twice) and South Carolina (4 times) - back and forth to Florida three times.
At last count it was something like 38 times.
After the service years were the retailing ones - and then 16 medical field years.
Cooking was not a high priority in a busy life...:)))
Going to bed now, and will see you in the morning....
