mudjack, believe it or not I actually went to california in 1965 on a greyhound bus from ohio to california via route66.Iwas 16,pissed because I couldn't buy alcohol in other states,so I had a teenage attitude, but I made it there anyway. That is when the magnitude and majesty of our country first impressed me. One, it took three days to go across, even from the midwest, second the diversity of our wonderful, beutiful country. I had wondered why people from far away wanted to see America! Silly Boy! This is a great country, beutiful people, beutiful terrain Start in Ohio
