You can’t start a road trip without an appropriate soundtrack to set the stage as you disembark. I decided to go with the RHCP’s “Road Trippin'” straight into “Born to Run” followed by listening to the whole “Born to Run” album. After all, Bruce Springsteen is my spirit guide and will be my co-pilot through these travels.
The first 320 miles of the trip are behind me and the ride could not have been easier today. Eighty-five degrees and crystal clear blues skies the whole way as I passed through the backwoods of Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas.
Spending time in Magnolia, AR with some old friends has been a great first day for the trip. Tomorrow I will be in Hot Springs National Park.
