We just returned from a road trip that took us nearly 6,500 miles of traveling backroads through parts of the U.S. and Canada. We took our camper so we could spend several days in an area to explore around and learn some history of region. Making a trip like this would usually require a lot of planning, but we decided to just drive and see where the road would takes us. We met many fine people in our travels and received a lot of good tips on where we might want to go and what to see in those locations. The most enjoyable times of our trip were spent in the quiet and open spaces. For nearly a month while in Canada we had no internet, cell service, or TV, and soon realized how much our lives have become reliant on that technology. When we returned to the States with being connected again we sort of felt like we gave up something to be back in the flow of digital information. The freedom from noisy ads, news, and all the other stuff thrown at us each day was refreshing. I realize few of us are going to be separated from the hustle of the busy world around us, but a roadtrip taking the backroads can give you a little break.
