Jun 2013

Was an over the road long haul driver for over 3 decades.
I have been to all of the lower 48 in addition to Mexico 3 times (over 900 miles below Laredo,Tx) about half way between Mexico City and Vera Cruz. Also been to the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick. Still places I would like to get to. The western Canadian provinces and Alaska.

However I do commend you on having been to as many state side as you have.
