I love taking my camera and just going for a drive. I can be sitting at home on the weekend and I get bored with what I am watching or doing so I grab my camera and off I go.
The thing about this is there is no trip planned or no map drawn out to see where I should go. My last trip included getting gas a road pop and a burger. From there I took a grid road west and took it until I could only go east or west from there.
I wasn't worried as I knew the basics as to where I am. I didn't need GSP or even a map that I would usually reply upon. I had the windows open, the tunes playing and my camera ready to make my trip memorable as always.
The abandon farm houses, empty mail boxes and the fawn and her mom near by on the warm Sunday afternoon made me want to never have my trip to end.
Wind in my hair and a road forever going could make anyone want to keep on going and never turn back. It is true that sometimes the best trips to take are the ones that are not on a map. Just go as it feels and maybe remember how you got there just in case you need to return. I love the trip and the unknown as I am driving. Dead ends, rivers or just simply private property can stop my trip for going forward, but I just make a slight turn and boom I have found something new.
I sometimes wish life could be like that and if you want it to be it can. You just have to know when it is time to make that change in direction. Be happy and enjoy the ride.
