After half a dozen trips across the West, I decided these travels need their own blog.
I do not hail from the West, but rather, the Midwest. I fled to the coast as many do for work. But as the West Coast explodes with housing and business development, I find myself driving away from the tower cranes, burgeoning condos, metastatic housing development. I live in a farming area, a river valley, surrounded by increasingly lush vegetation and rich wildlife. But increasingly, it’s not far enough away.
So a couple times a year, I head east, letting the scenery fly by as I unwind behind the wheel on the interstate. I end up in Montana or Wyoming, looking for wildlife, public access, open space, few people. I get to unwind, mull over my life, think about future adventures. Each trip, I travel a little farther, and disappear a little more.
