Always an adventure

QUESTION: What is the most beautiful drive you have ever taken? Be as descriptive as possible.

Growing up in an outdoorsy family there were always great opportunities for being in beautiful places. Growing up with so many siblings also ensured that we never flew anywhere and always drove. In all of my driving from Idaho to Utah to Wyoming to Louisiana to Texas to New Mexico to California to Nevada to Mexico, I think the most beautiful place is right in my own backyard. The White Mountains are beautiful. Especially in the fall. I remember many great times driving up into the mountains for a campfire, to haul firewood, to have a picnic. The aspen trees were all changing colors and there was often a little moisture in the air. The sun cuts through the trees and makes the dew on the ground sparkle like thousands of hiding diamonds.The air is still unless there are people around and if that is the case their laugher floats around and bounces off tree trunks. I love my own backyard.
