John, is there anywhere you have not lived, worked? You and POPS could publish your own series of books on life in these United States! I hope someday to be able to see half the country you guys have…

CR I don’t feel that well travelled, But I have had a chance to check out a lot of country that is between North Idaho and CA.  There ARE places that are still a mystery to me though, Like the SouthWest, Central plains, Mid West, etc. 

Career and Family has certainly cut back on my travels in the West.  My college years were the height of my Western Exploration since I seemed to have a biannual trip between home and school.  I miss the windshield time. 
You know there are a lot of routes to try out in that 800 mile stretch. 

So it got me thinking about where I have been.  Most of the places I remember the most are on a narrow highway or gravel road…

As you can see there is quite a cluster in the West.   That’s where the name comes from.

 This handy little application on Facebook doesn’t have all the little communities and such, but imagine the highways and roads that connect the pins on the map.
