We will never know if a plains landscape caputres our imagination if we haven't stood at the edge of a cracked, two-lane highway and gazed across it. I'm glad you're on this journey, even if it occassionally make me homesick. Some places get inside of us, become part of our souls and stay there.

And I totally identify with your feelings about Nebraska. I felt much the same way traveling through Utah - the vastness, emptiness, dryness, toughness and ruggedness or the terrain is amazing! And it was so great meeting you in Denver, Carl! Look forward to hearing about your future adventures :)<br><br>Cath What a great trip you've done!

It amazes me every time that, no matter how big the gulf between myself and the locals culturally (not having running water is a biggy), there are always such genuine and friendly people in each and every town, and in a lot of cases, I could see them living in any of the big cities I've been to without too much trouble.<br><br>Really makes you think about all of these arbitrary borders and invisible lines we've created on the map and how they don't really amount to much in reality.

I left the US wanting a huge cultural shift and have gotten a little taste since traveling around most of Australia, but India and southeast asia are next. "The world is always there- vast, living, growing dying"...i love this! We need to learn how to partake more. I will definitely be back to explore the home land soon. I found as soon as I planned my first trip I finally woke up to the wonderful city around me. Seeing the most of it before embarking on another continent. All we can do in life is try to stay as present as possible in order to soak in all that surrounds us. Life is always there for the taking. ;D A trip around the US is definitely on my to do list.
