Where does that road go? That is my favorite question to answer. It feels a bit like cheating these days to turn off the GPS for a while and make a turn that others are not. GPS should be there to turn back on when you need to find your way home. Usually. And I am...
Did you pull that trailer with that truck? We got asked that question at the gas pump, not once, but many times. The truck was a 6-cylinder Toyota Tacoma back when they were smaller trucks, and we pulled a 19-foot travel trailer. My first reaction was, “Duh, isn’t it...
