The route with the Blue arrows is the one I took in 2008, Purple for 2009 and this year is in Red. I've covered most of the states but noticed a big hole in the Midwest. Not that I avoided Arkansas, Oklahoma or Kansas, it's just that I didn't head in that direction for some reason. I am currently in the New England area and as you can see, I've covered a lot of ground here. The fall season is just amazing! It's exactly what you see in all of the magazines depicting fall, except you get to wake up and see all of the beautiful color wherever you go each day. I love it.
Soon I will be headed South. A lot of people ask me what my route is or where I am planning to go next. Fact is, I don't really know. I try to think of a general area to head to but sometimes I will hear of something, or get a feeling which will make me change direction. I feel some of the best moments on this journey were the ones where I wasn't planning and was a bit off course. Some might call it being lost. I like to think of it as exploring a new area where I vaguely know exactly where I am.
Life is more interesting that way.

You've not been to what I like to call "America's Backyard," La Florida.
Granted, parts of it are not pleasing, but there's plenty off the beaten path.
That is, if you get that feeling which makes you change direction.
I've shot what I consider my best photos while out wandering with no particular destination in mind.
try the four corners. Monument Valley UT was absolutely stunning. Just there last month and it blew me away.
isn't it said that "life is a journey"
So weather sitting still in one's back yard or driving across America...its all in how we take it in...and in your case capture it with a camera,its the transpiring from experience of the eye and heart,that I am grateful for you sharing...Safe travels.

Looks like you haven't been to Savannah GA, must definitely do that. I recently went and I just loved it. My photos from my unplanned trip down there are at www.sophiaharcourtphotography.wordpress.com.
Thank you all for the comments! @Jetpacks, oh yes, I've been to florida several times but have never driven there. I love the keys! :)
@Rocktman, I agree!
@Jon, I went to the four corners last year on my way to Telluride. It was a beautiful drive!
@Sophia, thank you for the tip! You have some beautiful photographs!
