I love this so much man. I always wondered what growing up in such a time and on such a place would have been like. Your journey sort of reminded me of the Lewis and Clark expedition as they journey by the river and the lands to reach the western Pacific Ocean. Love your style and how conversational and poetic it feels too!
I am behind reading your posts. This one was so so good. It was like sitting with you in the front seat of the car, peeking in your mind, your heart unable to speak, unable to help. Gorgeous work, Joe.
My family left there before I turned 6 years old, so I can hardly claim it. I tell people now that I'm from the Philippines. But I couldn't resist answering your note.
I really enjoyed reading this ...is there more coming ?
Yes, I have more on the way. Thank you so much for reading!
I wonder if folks that grow up out west, drive east and find promise in the sunrise?
Either that or the promise of lower state taxes, I hear.

Thank you. I hope I can finish it in the same fashion. Thank you very much.
Thank you for letting me tag along in your journey.
Thank you for reading
A very cinematic piece. It reads like a short film I really enjoyed the tone
Thank you very much MaryAnne!
Makes me want to pack up my suitcase and hit the road! Thanks Joe!
Thank you for reading.
Ah'm from Flintstone, Georgia, up there on Mountain View Circle, within eyeshot of Signal Mountain. You know the place.
North Georgia. Of course. Southern Georgia here. Spent a lot of time in your areas though.
