In the US we have a special love for roads – because we have a special love for cars. Decisions were made at a critical time, by powerful men, to put money into car production and road building instead of public transportation. This is unfortunate for our environment, but it is what it is – and I have to admit that although I love traveling by train in England & Europe, I still love the “road trip.” I love hitting the open road to see all there is to see. I love getting off the beaten path, to take back roads through small towns and farm country. I’m not afraid of the “road less traveled”.
Here are some of the roads I have traveled.
Road through mountain pass – Kyrgyzstan
Son Kul, Kyrgyzstan
Cabot Trail, Road between ocean and mountain.
Road to Meat Cove, Nova Scotia
Sharing the road – outside Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan
City Road – Christmas in Dublin
To travel more roads, visit Ailsa who has found her backpack and its all packed.

I’ve spent some time on roads too. Sometimes I love them, sometimes I loath them. But they always get me somewhere interesting! The cabot trail is beautiful.

We were in a higher class suburban neighborhood and all of a sudden we were surrounded by cows.

That first one of the mountain pass has me intrigued and dreading the idea of snow even or than usual at the same time.
Nice

Hi Ben, that first picture was taken in June, going through a mountain pass to get to the mountain pasture of Son Kul in Kyrgyzstan. I have several posts on this experience by checking my posts under Kyrgyzstan.
