Miles of pines, pecan groves,blackberries, blueberries and peaches by the mile. Stopping for gas and a country lunch, I finally hear the cracker accent of my youth. <br />Some call it flyover country, but it's real America country.Mockingbirdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11628754.post-41001727500195271362012-03-08T12:08:55.410-05:002012-03-08T12:08:55.410-05:00I travel for a living, too.

Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, UK, Western Europe, Scandinavia, etc. But the trip you just took is one of my favorites. People don't understand how satisfying it is to drive down the road with corn on one side and soybeans on the other. Red barns and silos dotting the landscape. Indiana has a pretty nice collection of county courthouses, too.
