I couldn't imagine driving cross country without the luxury of Google maps, power steering, actual paved roads! I suppose the compas was handy, but I would surely get lost!
There weren't very many roads. Drive WEST - follow the setting sun - and you'll eventually get there. :) I've crossed America 15 times now - spending weeks or months to do it. Most of them happened with maps. I always got where I was going!
well, this was an amazing story. For my parents 40th anniversary, we picked up my 90 something year-old grandmother who lived to 101 for the long drive to Asheville. And she told us stories about how she helped her brother drive the car for a short period of time while he cranked it up and turned it on! I think that was the first and only time she ever drove.
As a girl who started driving at 12 years old I know how this lady felt. I have always loved the freedom of the road, nothing more. Such freedom! What a brave woman. Enjoyed her story, thank you so much for bringing her alive again!
did you know that there is a button that you can press and the system will read the story out loud? I've been enjoying, listening to the stories as I walk around my lake. Of course it would be much more fun if it was a female voice, but nonetheless…

I love this!
WOW! I did not know this... THANK YOU! I'll figure out how to do that and make sure I direct readers to it if they want to listen. :)
