That's a lot of ground to cover!!!

There it is, all 3,623 miles of it.  The course we are plotting across America.  I have to wonder if we will be blazing forth like Lewis & Clark, or drudging forward on our own personal Trail of Tears.  I’m part Cherokee and I will be travelling with my ever so loving, usually very amiable, sometimes very childish SO, D and our trusty little P.I.T.As (that’s Pains In The Ass for the rest of you) Scooter and Jeyenah, so we shall see who survives!! MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!
