Unplanned RoadTrip in 2020

Unplanned RoadTrip in 2020 The year 2020 took away too much from all of us, be it moments of togetherness, a warm hug, and loved ones too. I lost my Father in October, he lived a comfortable and fulfilling life, he left us and we miss him dearly. Hope he has moved on to the new and better world.

The final itinerary and full plan looked something like this: Some pre-planning included purchases of cold weather clot...
