Ever embarked on a road trip that didn't go as planned, but turned out the best memories? Jump in the passenger seat and join me, Dan Neal, Roadtrip Extraordinaire, as I rewind 20 years to a cross-country road trip that started with a simple idea – a ride from California to Cincinnati in a 1983 BMW 320i. The trip was meant to be a family affair with my dad and brother, but life had other plans. Instead, my buddy, John, joined my Dad and I as we navigated the wrong side of San Francisco Bay, got lost in Reno, and traversed the 'Loneliest Road in America' on US Route 50.
This unforgettable journey wasn't just about the road, it was about the laughter, stories, and camaraderie we shared across the country through Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Indiana and Kentucky. Whether it was dealing with a twenty-year-old car gasping up the mountains or driving across the flat land of Kansas in the summer heat, every moment was a shared experience. The trip wasn't about reaching Cincinnati quickly, it was about the journey, the shared experiences, and the lasting memories that I still cherish today. So, flip on your radio and create your own adventures and memories. Remember, it's all about the conversations and the endless miles. Keep driving!
