My "TEN THOOOOOOUSAND" Miles

It makes me to feel astonishing that I have driven TEN THOUSAND miles on US Roads. Last weekend’s trip to Greenville, SC made me to accomplish this significant milestone in fulfilling my desire of entering all the 50 states of USA. In a short time of six months I have conquered 13 States of USA and the 10K milestone make me confident that I am very close to my destination. I feel the very best thing one can do in USA is to start their car, rock with some cool music and step on the accelerator to fly on the roads.

It’s always fun and exciting to drive on the US highways, every highway decorates itself and creates an aesthetic landscapes in synergy to the weather, the climate and the season. A foggy highway throws a challenge to your driving skills, a snowy highway makes your driving confidence slippery, a rainy highway tests how careful you are on the road, a busy blocked highway tests your patience towards fellow passengers and a open highway makes you fresh and tempts you to accelerate at peak. What ever be the condition and the place you are on the highway, you have to be alert and you cant dare to do you mistake, a small mistake on the highway will be a life times unimaginable cost.

“Its not USA that developed the Roads, it’s the Roads made USA a developed nation”, its evident if you look at the road system. Thanks for the GPS systems and the art of technology from the sites like Yahoo, Map quest, Google which gives every minute direction details,you can blindly trust your printed paper and you will never miss your direction or the destination. Last but not the least hats off to the driving sense and consideration of others to the fellow passengers.

I am taking a exit now, Exit No 10K..but i will be back again when i reach my 20K exit with much more exiting trips...wish that day will come very soon..
