My family has been farming in our county since the mid-1800's and I will always feel so deeply rooted to this place no matter where I live.  Change happens slowly in small towns, but when you need a comfortable place to call home, you'll always be grateful for the familiarity and love it brings.

There's just something about a train ride.  It's the same sort of something about a campfire - something that nurtures a peace of mind, a flowing of thoughts, and an opening of conversation with others.

A month across America. And of all the things to do before we leave, I stayed up late to make a color-coded map.
