It reminds me of some adventures I've taken for certain reasons, but never involving an epic journey like Chicago to L.A. Now, there's my bit of ambiguity.<br />I did enjoy the story though.<br /><br />Lee <br /><a href="http://wrotebyrote.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Wrote By Rote</a><br />An A to Z Co-host blogArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381261963391055840.post-23591690475007986522012-06-02T03:07:30.118-07:002012-06-02T03:07:30.118-07:00Not a place I've been to but sounds amazing.

He had very different experiences there, and they were all bad. I keep trying to get him to go back and visit with me, but he refuses. He says if he never steps foot in that state again, he'll die happy.
