Since my last post (July 25th) on the subject, I've decided to take a road trip in mid-September. From Vancouver I'll head southeast down to Boise, then due south to Las Vegas, then southwest to San Diego and then north all the way up the coast and back to Vancouver. If you have any suggestions on sidetrips or unusual roadside attractions you're welcome to email me. My plan is to head out the door on the 17th or 18th.

What I'd really like to do is drive across the country like William Least Heat-Moon did when he wrote Blue Highways in 1982. I was only 19 when I first read it and now I'm older than he was when he did the trip. Back then the book appealed to me for his interactions with people and places as he circumnavigated America. I've now reached a point in life where I can really appreciate the internal journey he took along the way.
