Why is no one laying on these picnic tables?
Bo KendallHi Patti, Chris strongly believes in Picnic Table Therapy. Every day after a lunch stop he will search for a park and with satellite technology confirm a picnic table. He is in the picture, I zoomed in a bit, he was the first to lay down.
Путешественникfeeling a bit jealous as you knock off all these states on our bucket list....you look like even with challenges making it fun. The airstream a great touch!!
Bo KendallThe Airstream was a great find. You would have likely request a second night, there was a nice college town full of restaurants there. As we keep moving west, each area is looking much different. Later
