All he needed was a wheel in his hand and four on the road. ~ Jack Kerouac, On the Road, 1957
The Wall Street Journal has an article with images of some of the most scenic roads in the U.S. It makes one think about the road trips taken, sites enjoyed, memories cherished.
Several of mine include:
- the Cabot Trail which sweeps along the northern part of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia
- the highway that crosses Vancouver Island to Tofino, on the west coast
- driving south of San Francisco along the coastline (Do you sense my wife and I like water views?)
Of course, roads also serve as great metaphors:
When all is said and done, all roads lead to the same end. So it's not so much which road you take, as how you take it. ~ Charles de Lint
How are you progressing on the road?
