I too love to travel TD. Love it. Once while working in Scottsdale, Az, we took a package tour to the grandcanyon. We rode in a bus from Scottsdale (outside of Phoenix, AZ) all the way to the Grand Canyon and went through Flagstaff. A fine, beautiful wonderul ride to say the least!

I'll just bet! ... Today i was dreaming of living in N. Los Angeles where I could travel up and down the coast more leisurely. So, as you can see, I'd be just about everywhere, if'n only I could.LOL
It would be nice to drop by your way for lunch, LD's, Hal in TX, then out to Rick's, then WyoGal's to see how she is fairing, and also to see if Beau and Paul would let me treat for lunch(they'd jump on that one, especially Paul, me buying!LOL)and perhaps out to see Les and then over to see WelshBob. And a few others of us, here and there. WHAT A TRIP, huh!?Now, People, THAT is a fantasy trip! Tennessee Dave "Change is inevitable, growth is optional."

Hey TD, if and when I can afford the drive, you can go too if you want (I'm in alabama, you still in Tennessee?). There is someone else on this forum that wants to go but no telling when I can go. Just can't afford it, and right now getting my youngest son started in a Technical College. But one of these days.

I do wish I could come visit with everyone, but I'm afraid that's all it'll ever come to, just a wish. But, rest assured my friends, my fellow readers of Louis L'Amour, my heart is with you-all, even if'n I can't be there in the flesh, breathin' that good old western/desert/mountain air.
But, then again, who REALLY knows what the future holds..... I've been surprised a time or two in my life!Tennessee Dave "Change is inevitable, growth is optional."
