May of '91, just came home from Iraq and after 4 days of sleeping and eating mom's home cooking, I got in my 1981 Jeep CJ-5 and took off. Drove to Marathon key Florida and fished for 3 weeks, then headed north back up thru Florida and fished all the way to Georgia. Then took off to Hatteras for another 2 weeks, met some some crazy girls there (but thats another story alltogether) and then headed back towards NJ for some more of Mom's cooking and clean clothes . 4 days home and I was off to Ontario Canada for some freshwater fishing (2 weeks) and then I went home a refreshed man, life was good.

June 80- graduated from college and with a couple of pals drove down the east coast - fishing, exploring, then across the south - damn hot and muggy but first time cat fishing and great food, Texas - East Texas - can you say hello KKK? - they did not like our Mass. plate -we drove fast through NM, Arizona into California....stayed in the Monterey Peninsula, Big Sur for 3 years (but that is another story)...took the northern route home. We have a beautiful country.

One December I rode in the back of a pickup truck in a sleeping bag, all the way from Camp Lejune, NC back home to R.I. that was a long cold road trip ill never forget....

I have taken tons of road trips from RI to Chicago...

One time on the way home from Chicago, I raced through a hurricane in a little porsche944 in Connecticut...(scary)...got through it...and home - sunny Narragansett, & then the hurricane hit an hour after I was home...that was pretty cool. Experienced the hurricane twice.
