more stories "on the road"...

folks,i truly miss "the road" for many reasons... i do not mean the tough times,like sleeping under trees,or on cement,or even once in a three foot shrub,outside a Diamond Shamrock,in Aurora,Colorado... how i did that is still a mystery to me... i mean walking this great country,in places and cities that people simply forgot,because there is some scenery that is unforgettable to see,like walking in the desert,outside Yerington,Nevada,down Alternate US 95(i almost passed out from the heat,and got very ill),in Zion National Park,on a full moon night,when the walls of the canyon shine from the reflection of the moon,walking down US 30,in rural Nebraska,crossing the North Platte River,and seeing a state historical marker in this dirt parking lot that very few people ever see,or walking west of Granby,Colorado to Steamboat Springs,in one day,down US 40,through a river canyon of the Yampa River... what a beautiful walk!!! that is i really miss:the beautiful scenery of the country... funny thing is that the day before that beautiful walk,i walked out of Estes Park,Colorado,into Rocky Mountain National Park,and a walk that i will never forget,because i have seen some scenery that was unforgettable,like being stopped in a curve in the two lane road,and putting out the thumb,and while it is sunny in the park,it actually snowed on my head... it was over 12,000 feet in altitude,and i will never forget that...
