I too have know the extremes of temperatures & conditions & scenic backroads across the northern plains to the Florida beaches, Seattle Olympic Mtns, Denver & Montana Rockies & the open Tx skyline.

Each location has its own beauty to claim.

I did a lot of land survey for a few years which put me smack dab in the middle of a vast nowhere, and I was certain my feet walked in places no man had stepped before!

It has been an adventurous life, indeed

To your travels & mine, PoindexterOglethorpe
