Just Drive Kid... Just Drive.

I fell in love with driving the way I fell in love with music. Its not that I've ever been exceptional at either, but there is something about driving the open road with the windows down and the music up. It's almost like poetry in motion. The sensation of the wind on your face, combined with the smells of the scenery, and flowing melody of the music (picked according to your mood) is a form of art that can't be displayed in any museum or gallery. The gallery is the world and the canvas is the road.

And just like my favorite songs, there are stretches of road that I return to. There a many roads to drive and each are different. Each has a different rhythm and meter and some take some unexpected turns, but there are just certain roads that hold that same feeling as the songs that never get old. Here are some of my favorites.
1. Route 23 when you descend into Ottawa and you can see the whole river valley.
2. The bridge across the Mississippi River outside Hannibal. The whole downtown is lit up at Christmas time and it looks like the whole hill side has stars on it.
3. The last stretch of Eldeman on my way back home.
4. Airport Rd. on the way to LCC. The road has more memories than it has gravel.
5. Skyline Drive across the Shenandoah River Valley... Breathtaking.
