When I take off on a camping trip, I am never searching for the fastest route to "Get There!". Most of the time I am looking for the longest and most scenic route. This all started back in the late 70's when I used to ride my bicycle for months at a time to see the country. Had more time back then. I disliked too much traffic whizzing by and blowing us off the road. Feel the same way today. I plan a general route like driving to Yellowstone from California. The in between driving is often more fun than the destination because of the beautiful gems that we discover on our way. We stop and pick local fruits and veggies. If we see a sign that advertises "Farm Fresh Eggs", we stop and buy a dozen.
2 years ago while camping in the city park of Dufur, Oregon, I asked the campground host if he new where we could get some farm fresh eggs. He made a few phone calls and a lady showed up in a pick up truck loaded with her kids and 4 dozen eggs. We later drove to her home to see her range fed chickens and grass fed beef. It was a sight to behold!
Here are typical photos that shows what we like to do while driving to our so called destination. We stop at every old small town and look around.
