I Take The Long Way Home...

This 5 + mile route has been my home for the last
several months. I know each divot in the road,
every scar and every place where
doggies like to poop.

I know where I am most likely to get hit my a car, and
where I am most apt to get honked at
by passing truck drivers.

I thought I would share some photos...
