Calling all Geezers
I'm a geezer too just a yungin though.
Watching a bit on the history channel about early roads and vehicles, in the US. I remember redding a long time back about the adventures of Eisenhower and an army Detachment, traveling across America with virtually no roads.
There aare a few of us that are old enough, I'm thinking, That might remember the early days of RVing of as ort across America, in the twenties and perhaps their Parent's talking about such. back then People would just pick up and "go to Texas." They took tents and provisions, so it was sorta RVing. Dad talked about horsee and horse and wagon travel was still common in the twenties and thirties, in this part of the Country. I think, fro mthe things related to me by Grand Ma the old home place on the Nick ajack Trail, that served as an Inn and Stagecoach stop still was functioning up until the twenties. Grand Ma's older Sister sold Biscuits and Coffee to them.
Anywho Anyone have any tales or memories of of adventures of traveling across the Country far back? Such as stuck in a ditch, for a week, fighting off cougars, sights and experiences. Ought to be some interesting tales out there.
