The Beginning....

The Beginning....
When William Least Heat-Moon toured the country many years ago, his steed, if you will, was a van that he named Ghost Dancing. His journey of America was 13,000 miles. His book is Blue Highways, A Journey Into America. My steed will be a Subaru WRX (traded for an XV Crosstrek). My travels will be, what in the past were called, the blue highways of Virginia. Years ago, maps showed secondary roads in blue. Yes, the ones less traveled.

Honest, this is the last. A little of the downside of the races. A doctor interviewed as well as a rider from the States who was injured....


       
OK, this may or may not be the last. These are truly interesting and are from the police department's viewpoint showing eveything they have to do in opening and closing roads and so on. Well worth the watching....  Two parts.
