People who do not live out West cannot appreciate some of the subtleties of how beautiful it is to live here. This is one of them! I've been fortunate to travel the West, and all I can say is that if one is fortunate enough to do the same, and you have the time... DO NOT set an itinerary! Take time to stop at some of the small trading posts along your route. Talk to the people who own the stores... they are wonderful people. You will go home with a new appreciation for the USA, I guarantee it! Great post! People who do not live out West cannot appreciate some of the subtleties of how beautiful it is to live here.
