I have an exploration addiction. When I cannot travel the world, I try to explore the US. So, I try to drive to every US county and see what the journey has in store. My wife and son do NOT have any interest in this whatsoever, so I have to wait until they go to Japan for six weeks each summer (she is from Japan). Then every weekend I hop in the car and explore from Chicago. I took a few days off from work last year for a 5 day weekend and explored the counties of Eastern Kentucky and southern West Virginia. What a different world. The accents were as thick as hers. The windy roads over the rolling hills were beautiful. Some particularly so. I often felt like an out of state license plate in some of these parts was extremely rare…like when I turned down a county road into one of the hollers. The road was two way, but only one lane wide and very windy. I think this was on a route 1780 just off of US421 in Leslie county, Kentucky. I often get to chat with interesting people along the way…my dog is my companion on these rides! She hangs with me at the various restaurants along the way where conversations often ensue.
