I remember having a Tom Tom GPS too. It did sometimes give some pretty strange directions, like telling me to drive through a forest, or to continue on the road I was on, even though it stopped and started again on the other side of a ravine. 🤣 Those were fun memories, though. It's great to see Voodoo out and about, keeping up with his herd. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of his healing journey. 🤍
When I was 13, 14 years old my family was visiting in relatives in east Texas. I took my favorite pair white jeans, I learn red dirt and white jeans does not mix.
I remember the days before GPS and TomToms. I would pickup a map at the gas station and plot out my route on the map. Nothing like driving down the road periodically looking at the map to find the next road or exit I needed to take. Thank goodness the traffic was lighter in those days. I can’t imagine doing that today.
It made my heart so happy to see Voodoo & Bucees back together & being best buds like usual again!❤️ Great story Jami. I think I’ve become more navigationally aware bc of gps. I can read a map now too vs when I was younger. Donkey Dan does look like a redhead.😂
Jami, I am from the South where we have red dirt and white sandy roads. My husband is from a small town in Illinois. In the early spring of 1966, I put my baby on a blanket outside in the grass of my In-laws' home. He crawled to the edge of the blanket and when I reached to put him back on the blanket, I saw what looked like ground up charcoal. When I asked my MIL what it was, she laughed and told me it was dirt! You can imagine my shock!!! I loved your story!
Oh Miss Jami, my husband used to say and do that all the time!💔 He has been in heaven for 14 years and you saying that about getting lost on purpose blessed my heart so much!!! Love and blessings dear lady!!!❤
There’s not much you can do to stop Mother Nature. She is going to make things messy but beautiful also. Your grass is still looking good. When I use to travel back in the day I would print out Mapquest too! I still would get lost sometimes.
When I lived in England, I would drive without any destination and had the TomTom in case I needed it. More often then not, I could find my way because English villages have at least one church with a high steeple. If I ever got misdirected, I would look for the church steeple. It was a fun way to explore and find beautiful places to photograph. 😎
Me too. Lived in Surrey 1995-2001. Hard to tell which direction driving in tunnels of trees and roundabout to roundabout. Had an Atlas in my little Mini.
I love your stories. These things made you the woman that you are. Donkey Dan has the new ginger look and walking around proud showing it off,😅. I love Donkey Dan red head or not, 😅.
The soil in Beeville, Texas is black. No red dirt. And it is very hard black dirt. It grows okra really good. Like 6 feet tall. Of course I didn't know how to cook it. It was my first time in TX back in 1976 from California. Boy did I learn a lot from my newly married Texan bronc rider husband.😮😮. I did cry a lot back then.😮😮😮
Been there, Done that. In the early 70s my cousins and I drove from Northwest Arkansas to Little Rock to watch a Razorback game. On the way home we detoured around the ever present detour and got totally lost! It was very dark and we ended up in a bean field. We could see no lights of civilization. I do not remember how we got back to the Highway but we were laughing hysterically just talking about what the farmer thought when he saw the tracks. Red clay? We do not believe the commercials that show implements going through that nice black fluffy garden soil. Let them show red sticky clay with rocks. We knew to hose down our shoes before entering the house.
O yeah, I live in North Carolina and it is red clay dirt everywhere! And it stains everything, blue carpet becomes orange, and forget keeping anything white! I love watching you and Lester and the babies. After seeing Ernie eat the oatmeal i thought well at least he's eating, lol
Good Wednesday morning Jami and fur babies. Love watching the babies and well maybe donkey Dan may like keeping the new look foe awhile 😅. Have a great day 😎 ❤❤
I firmly believe Jami would be great as the voice for audiobooks, voice-overs, etc. But I am delighted she has her channel and we have the opportunity to enjoy her via TH-cam. Before I had a cellphone I purchased maps from gas stations and kept them in ziploc bags in my vehicle. I also stopped at Rest Areas/Welcome Stops during my travels to obtain maps. Maps were awkward when traveling alone, I would have to locate a safer place to pull over to verify my next moves. I bought a Garmin and it was helpful - except for 3 times. I reached an red light/intersection on a 5 lane road and I heard 'you have reached your destination'. 2:00AM, pouring rain, no businesses were open that I could see and no vehicles except those that were parked. It was a v-e-r-y uncomfortable situation. I became aware that Garmin wasn't as trustworthy as I had anticipated. My cellphone replaced Garmin although I still have G. I now utilize both my cellphone and GPS in my vehicle. At 74 I no longer enjoy traveling. I continue to use Google to avoid traffic snarls as I do errands
Jami I totally went on the same adventures. Actually same time frame. I graduated from college in ‘95 and my new job after that forced me to travel to stay employed. I was given an address if my new work sight. I owned an Atlas and would stop at every state line and pick up a paper map at the welcome center. I would then purchase at local laminated map at the local gas station. I’d then give myself plenty of time morning of start date and head to work. This was a decommissioning government job always located in the middle of nowhere’s vile. I would always find a string of headlights heading in one direction. I head for the headlights and get in line. Found my job sight every time. You just make it work. Well done to you sister!
I grew up in Iowa - we still have a family farm there. And Yes, the soil is So Rich.. like potting soil!! A person wouldn't believe it until they saw it & grew amazing food in it!! We have two excellent crop growing states of the US!!🥰👏💖🌽❤👏
You look fabulous as a redhead, Donkey Dan!!! Who knows Dan, you might start a trend with your buddies @ LHL!! I loved your red dirt road story, Jami. I find the best things happen in life when you go down the less traveled roads or intentionally explore unfamiliar areas, and sometimes you meet interesting people or find some really neat hidden areas that are real gems! ❤
I love to do this too…just drive and figure it out! I used to use Map Quest too along with an atlas! As I result I am not afraid to drive in cities etc! Gave me confidence that I can figure it out! Even if I have to ask eventually for directions! Thanks for sharing
😂 Lol, the Tom Toms. Downloading the updates. I had voices of Mr. T and George W Bush on mine. And to think we only used maps before. Mine cycled on many occasions. One time near Ocean City, Md looking for a golf course I never played before. Not exactly in the middle of no where.
Way back before they even had GPS, on Sunday afternoon, when the kids were still small, we would pick a road that we had never been down before and go down it. We liked this one road gravel that we followed for over 2 hrs. Witch included stopping to pick flowers along side the road and watching new spring lambs and calves. I drove till the road ended in the driveway of an abandoned house! I said “ well, we’re lost. We can’t go any further! “ The kids started crying and getting real upset! I told them to settle down! All I have to do is turn around and go back the same way we came. The road may have really crooked but there wasn’t any roads running off it. 👍🥰💕💕. 👵🏻
My friend and I use to go on road trips and get lost on purpose. I really miss those days. But now, with gas prices and everything, it's just not possible.
Jami has anyone told you that you are an amazing, smart, beautiful, kind hearted woman? I love listening to you tell us something that you did and or experienced and what your life was like before you met Lester. You had amazing adventures and now you have more amazing adventures and some are different. You now love and help care for beautiful animals who are lucky to have you and Lester.
I was stationed in northwest Mississippi while in the Air Force. You wanna talk about clay dirt? It was as orange as can be. Being from Southern Illinois like Jami, I was used to dark brown, almost black dirt. So I, too, have traveled down many a red dirt road (orange was the new red back then.😂)
It's crazy u brought up your story. I use to get lost on purpose also to find my way home again. And it also made me directions aware and also know how to read a map just in case. I love ur story!
Luv how Rita woll walks away ftom her herds security or her food & comes up for a petting. Scratch..kinda rare lots of horses are more stoic an won't leave the safety of their herd
You and Lester must get to know each other better, by llistening to each others vides. You both share so much about yourself ,and that's why I love your videos
Jami I’ve had similar experiences. I was a traveling physical therapist assistant and for 2 years I traveled from northern CA to very southern CA, I traveled to Tx, SC , indiana and all over Ohio. I’ve gotten so lost sometimes that it was like where in the heck do I go from here but eventually I always got to where I needed to go. I used to go to Aaa and get the trip tik and they would map out my route where I needed to go. Donkey Dan looks good as a redhead. Have a good day Jami
Poor Danny Boy he's trying to look younger and compete with Dinky Darryl 😅. Yes one of favorite bands is Brooks and Dunn❤, Can I suggest a cleaning barrel for the food dishes. Just add water to help them soak and get a few extra to switch out when extra dirty. To keep anyone from getting in it put a board or lid on it and all you have to do is rinse out to feed. Yes, I did this as a kid with 4- H bunnies😊
I remember printing MapQuest maps. For those of you who don't get it, cell phones were not that popular and were not smart. So we had GPS, not me, too poor, and paper maps. My son uses gps daily on his phone. I don't know how good he is with a paper map. He also has difficulty visualizing where he is in town because he is so focused on a route, not knowing where about he is going. Seeing paper maps helps you get an idea of an area. Snips of roads doesn't do that.
Thank you for sharing a part of your story. I love to hear other womens stories. What in Yankee had me spitting out my coffee😂.... ❤❤❤❤ I would love to hear more about the country Yankee!!❤❤❤
Hello 👋 JamieCakes 🌹🐎🐴🐴🐎I Just Love 💕 Listening to you talk about what ever is going on,,,I can listen to You Jami all day Long,,,BUT NOT SOMEONE ELSE,,, Hopefully You Will Have A Great Day 🌹🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🌹❤️
I worked as a dialysis nurse educator and had the opportunity to travel up and down the east coast and to areas as far west as Kentucky. I, too, used a Tom Tom GPS and mapquest to navigate. The worst was West Virginia for reception. I met some wonderful people
I’m from Northern Canada 🇨🇦 & we have black dirt..which I thought all dirt was. I went to Molokai, Hawaii on a holiday (30 some years ago) & it really surprised me when I saw RED dirt…Texas having the same red dirt means that Hawaii & Texas must be on the same latitude/longitude or something like that. Nice to see Voodoo looking back to normal again. 😊. I just got my Voo long sleeve shirt yesterday & I *LOVE* it!🖤 The cotton is so soft & comfy. I have several of your tees, a dress, a pullover & a hoodie from ISS, FSTB & LHL’s.. I 🩷you, Lester & ALL of your Beloved Animals so very very much.🥰
I have traveled all over the US using just a random McNally map and seen some beautiful places and every place we have lived the first thing we do is get lost and drive around getting to know our way around and find our way back to our new home, this is the longest we have ever been in one location and I am ready to go and explore a new place but due to current circumstances we are grounded but this to will pass and one day we will hopefully be exploring a new place and finding new adventures
I was supposed to meet someone at a certain time. I always leave early so no matter what happens I should be on time. I don't like to feel rushed. We'll I put the address in my GPS. IT takes me on a country road. I was supposed to meet three people. I go around a curve and my GPS says. You have arrived. Your destination is on your left. I looked to my left to see a cow pasture with three cows.
I laughed so hard over the red donkey when you said it was donkey Dan, he does look red, he don't care. You are A good story teller just like Lester, loved the story. I at 64 like to get lost on back roads good way to see farm animals. I like the storytelling we get to know you better❤😊. So glad Ernie is doing a bit better, he sure loves oatmeal❤🎉. You all need a way to buy oatmeal in abundance Anne Indy eating it now also, Anne naughty bitting Ernies ear to get the oatmeal. Like you always say A shit show, a fun one at that😊❤🎉. Never a dull moment at LHL, or J❤L. Love all the video's.
We have rich black soil in the Red River Valley of North Dakota. Just like the potting mix you buy at the store. Only 2 places in the world have this type of soil. Nile River valley and us. Because the river flows north. Sugar beets and potatoes are what we are known for and the valley runs from the north and south Dakota borders into Lake Winnipeg Canada. You just keep road tripping and never know what you can discover 😊❤
I was young many years before you were, and we didn't have GPS devices back in the mid-1980s when I up and moved to the city I'm living in right after college. I learned my way around by getting lost -- not intentionally -- and finding my way back to where I needed to be. We did have those Handy Maps, and I had one in my car, if I recall correctly; and I had one of those folding maps that you don't see too much anymore. But I would just drive around until I found a street I was familiar with, and then I'd probably turn the wrong way at first and have to turn around to go the right way to where I needed to be. It was definitely an adventure and a learning experience. I do like GPS devices when I'm going somewhere I have not been before, but I guess I don't just lean on them as the younger set does, but I am doing more than I used to.
My 1st big road trip 7/7/1976 by myself I was 23 from Santa ana California to Orlando Florida in my 1971 blue Cuda... had an engagement ring on my left hand... sold my horses all my saddles,tack, truck, horse trailer b4 that road trip...
My parents soil was Black as coal but my garden is pure red clay have spent years improving the soil but it's still quite heavy. When I moved I asked dad if I could have a few buckets to help break it down and he refused! He would have given me the shirt off his back but I wasn't getting his soil! Lmao
As usual Jami I'm proud of whatever you take on, even your twenty yr old self :) Here in the Sierra Nevadas in California when you see red dirt it means gold is around. ;) Thanks for story time. And yes! I am an old lady who does maps still :)
I drive across the country (2600 miles) 2-4 tines a year. I still carry maps/atlases in my car because GPS can get 'creative'. I also like to explore or challenge myself to find a place again that I've only been to once. And, I live on a red dirt road half the year.
What about getting some of those red hay holders like you have in the goat pasture. The horses won’t knock it over they can eat from it came with the donkeys, and it would keep it off the ground
I love road trips. Last year, I roamed around in northern Wisconsin on backroads looking at the fall colors. I ended up on a road where they were patching and my tires were kicking up the fresh asphalt. Took a quick peak at the map and a road was coming up, I thought good, I can get away from their patching! Turned on it, it was a named road with a sign, but soon realized it was dirt/grass one lane only because that's where the grass was worn down. Heavily wooded area so it was gorgeous with the fall colors! Looked at my map again and it said I should connect to a road at some point and there was really no area to turn around. Three miles later I came to a dirt road that was visibly wide enough for two lanes, lol! Took a left there and about another mile or two I came to a paved road again! I think maybe next week I'll take a drive about 30 miles west of there. Then in October, planning on roaming around southwest Wisconsin! 🍁🍂
I recently got lost following my cars directions! I thought to myself, i would just stop at the gas station & purchase a state map. I was shocked they no longer sell such a thing!😂😂😂 I got out of the mess & found my way out & then back on track, but of course was a scenic view!! I still couldn’t get over not being able to find a paper map anywhere!!😂😂😂 Showing my age here!😂❤❤
Buc-ees and Voodoo joined at the hip! Those two are so precious and adorable!❤❤❤
Lester prides himself on storytelling but you beautiful Jami are an amazing storyteller in your own right. 🫶🏼
I’m glad you got lost on that dirt road Jami, it helped shape you into the phenomenal woman you are today! 😊❤
It makes me tear up seeing Voodoo with his family. Praise the Lord🙏❤️
Lost On A Red Dirt Road...what a great name for a book❤
@Libertyfreeman8, And a great Love Story too.
Red dirt road is a country song
Great story Jami. Whenever I hear you talk about your work I've always thought about how brave you were to be by yourself traveling.
MY KIND OF ONDE[ENDENY GIRL! ME TOO, TRAVEL THE BLUE HIGHWAYS, MAP IN HAND, AND GO FOR IT!!
I love y'all and your babies. Prayers for Ernie, Voodoo, and the rest of your family.
I am so excited to see Dinky Darrel get to be moved in with horses and big donkeys!
Donkey Dan said he’s TEAM GINGER now ❤️😂
I remember having a Tom Tom GPS too. It did sometimes give some pretty strange directions, like telling me to drive through a forest, or to continue on the road I was on, even though it stopped and started again on the other side of a ravine. 🤣 Those were fun memories, though. It's great to see Voodoo out and about, keeping up with his herd. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of his healing journey. 🤍
Red dirt is close to my heart too. My grandparents had a property in Ourback Queensland Australia, and it was red dirt and Mulga trees.
Oh yeah!! Aussie outback red dirt gets into every nook and cranny and very hard to wash out. But it quintessentially Aussie
You two have a beautiful and peaceful place. I share your love for horses. Blessings.
What a smart woman you are Jami!!! I don't know how many people would've thought to follow their tracks back to where they came from.
Great story of truth Jami. This red dirt road changed your life forever, and we are grateful 🤗🫶
When I was 13, 14 years old my family was visiting in relatives in east Texas. I took my favorite pair white jeans, I learn red dirt and white jeans does not mix.

There’s not much you can do to stop Mother Nature. She is going to make things messy but beautiful also. Your grass is still looking good. When I use to travel back in the day I would print out Mapquest too! I still would get lost sometimes.
Jami, I absolutely love listening to your stories, and the way you tell them. You are an amazing woman.
Good morning, Jami. It is nice you got some rain. You are a good storyteller. God Bless. Love you all.❤

Good for you, Jami, for learning your way around new surroundings!
Good morning Jami, lovely video and story with a message,that was lovely,thanks for sharing your neat and wise outlook on life.
I use to cry when I got lost. I hated it. Very happy for map quest and GPS.
I love getting myself lost in new areas. Just having a compass is great too. It's the best way to learn your new surroundings.
Thanks for the story today Jami. Oh how things change. Have a wonderful day take care and much love God bless 💕🙏👢
I love Jami stories.

I love listening to you tell us something that you did and or experienced and what your life was like before you met Lester. You had amazing adventures and now you have more amazing adventures and some are different. You now love and help care for beautiful animals who are lucky to have you and Lester.
I’ve been through many scenic routes. Ya know, on the wrong roads.
Good Morning beautiful Jami 🌻. I love your story. Mine is similar when I moved to Louisiana 😊
Good morning! Donkey Dan looks good as a redhead

It's crazy u brought up your story. I use to get lost on purpose also to find my way home again. And it also made me directions aware and also know how to read a map just in case. I love ur story!
I could listen to your stories all day long Jami ❤
Thank you for sharing. What a lovely story.😍💖
Luv how Rita woll walks away ftom her herds security or her food & comes up for a petting. Scratch..kinda rare lots of horses are more stoic an won't leave the safety of their herd
Reminds me off red river I was born in Shreveport. I always had bad luck with the garmin gps stuff. I would always end up going the wrong way. Lol
Nice seeing all the horses, donkeys 🫏. Enjoying the good life
Donkey Dan must be having some fun rolling and playing in the red dirt he must have been feeling happy Jami
Love your dirt road story.. ❤
I love when you tell stories❤️ I also loved that video when you were talking with the ants, it put a smile on my face. I wish I would have saved it
So happy to see that all are doing well. I love hearing stories about things that happened earlier in life and that we learn from them. God bless
You and Lester must get to know each other better, by llistening to each others vides. You both share so much about yourself ,and that's why I love your videos

I used AAA also ❤I still have AAA....
I'm from Kentucky and the first thing I noticed when we went to Texas was the red dirt
When I first moved to Austin, TX, I liked to play the 'Let's go get lost!' game. We found some cool, out-of-the-way places.
Poor Danny Boy he's trying to look younger and compete with Dinky Darryl 😅. Yes one of favorite bands is Brooks and Dunn❤,

You did the best thing knew how to do to get yourself out of any trouble .
I love trying to get lost, my dad would get us lost then always love to try teaching us how to find our way back. 😊❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Good Wednesday morning 9/18 Jami ☕️☕️🤗🤗I still have my TomTom, it used to drive me crazy🤣🤣

That’s so funny! I try to get lost too. I thought I was the only one. You get to see the town that way. 😂😂
I worked as a dialysis nurse educator and had the opportunity to travel up and down the east coast and to areas as far west as Kentucky. I, too, used a Tom Tom GPS and mapquest to navigate. The worst was West Virginia for reception. I met some wonderful people
getting lost on a road trip just adds to the fun

Nice to see Voodoo looking back to normal again. 😊. I just got my Voo long sleeve shirt yesterday & I *LOVE* it!🖤
The cotton is so soft & comfy. I have several of your tees, a dress, a pullover & a hoodie from ISS, FSTB & LHL’s..
I 🩷you, Lester & ALL of your Beloved Animals so very very much.🥰
I have traveled all over the US using just a random McNally map and seen some beautiful places and every place we have lived the first thing we do is get lost and drive around getting to know our way around and find our way back to our new home, this is the longest we have ever been in one location and I am ready to go and explore a new place but due to current circumstances we are grounded but this to will pass and one day we will hopefully be exploring a new place and finding new adventures
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤love the stories if your adventures! Thanks for sharing!❤
I was supposed to meet someone at a certain time. I always leave early so no matter what happens I should be on time. I don't like to feel rushed. We'll I put the address in my GPS. IT takes me on a country road. I was supposed to meet three people. I go around a curve and my GPS says. You have arrived. Your destination is on your left. I looked to my left to see a cow pasture with three cows.
I’m not lost….just not sure where I currently am! 😂😂. Great adventures!
I laughed so hard over the red donkey when you said it was donkey Dan, he does look red, he don't care. You are A good story teller just like Lester, loved the story. I at 64 like to get lost on back roads good way to see farm animals. I like the storytelling we get to know you better❤😊. So glad Ernie is doing a bit better, he sure loves oatmeal❤🎉. You all need a way to buy oatmeal in abundance Anne Indy eating it now also, Anne naughty bitting Ernies ear to get the oatmeal. Like you always say A shit show, a fun one at that😊❤🎉. Never a dull moment at LHL, or J❤L. Love all the video's.
We have rich black soil in the Red River Valley of North Dakota. Just like the potting mix you buy at the store. Only 2 places in the world have this type of soil. Nile River valley and us. Because the river flows north. Sugar beets and potatoes are what we are known for and the valley runs from the north and south Dakota borders into Lake Winnipeg Canada. You just keep road tripping and never know what you can discover 😊❤
OtterTail Co, MN, here.
I was young many years before you were, and we didn't have GPS devices back in the mid-1980s when I up and moved to the city I'm living in right after college. I learned my way around by getting lost -- not intentionally -- and finding my way back to where I needed to be. We did have those Handy Maps, and I had one in my car, if I recall correctly; and I had one of those folding maps that you don't see too much anymore. But I would just drive around until I found a street I was familiar with, and then I'd probably turn the wrong way at first and have to turn around to go the right way to where I needed to be. It was definitely an adventure and a learning experience. I do like GPS devices when I'm going somewhere I have not been before, but I guess I don't just lean on them as the younger set does, but I am doing more than I used to.
GPS has made map reading a thing of the past...I used to get trip maps from AAA and travel all over the USA...😂
I sure do love your stories as much as Lester's!!
My 1st big road trip 7/7/1976 by myself I was 23 from Santa ana California to Orlando Florida in my 1971 blue Cuda... had an engagement ring on my left hand... sold my horses all my saddles,tack, truck, horse trailer b4 that road trip...
Some of the best times is when you get lost. I love Danny as a red head. Have a great and safe day.
I just love watching your babies ❤
Good morning watching your videos drinking my coffee everything calm love morning like this ❤
What an awesome story it made me less alone when I did those things☺🥰have a blessed day
I guess donkey Dan heard Lester wanted to be a ginger with his beard.
He figured he wanted to be a ginger to 😂
Be safe ❤😊❤
My parents soil was Black as coal but my garden is pure red clay have spent years improving the soil but it's still quite heavy. When I moved I asked dad if I could have a few buckets to help break it down and he refused! He would have given me the shirt off his back but I wasn't getting his soil! Lmao
As usual Jami I'm proud of whatever you take on, even your twenty yr old self :) Here in the Sierra Nevadas in California when you see red dirt it means gold is around. ;) Thanks for story time. And yes! I am an old lady who does maps still :)
Love you Jami. I wish, wish I could have had the braveness of you in your younger years❤
I drive across the country (2600 miles) 2-4 tines a year. I still carry maps/atlases in my car because GPS can get 'creative'. I also like to explore or challenge myself to find a place again that I've only been to once. And, I live on a red dirt road half the year.
Awe Donkey Dan I love your Red Hair sir!!! I am a Redhead myself!!! Loved it!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
What about getting some of those red hay holders like you have in the goat pasture. The horses won’t knock it over they can eat from it came with the donkeys, and it would keep it off the ground
I agree ☝️. Horses could probably stand with a concrete feeding station too. Would be so much better on them than sliding in the muck.
I love road trips. Last year, I roamed around in northern Wisconsin on backroads looking at the fall colors. I ended up on a road where they were patching and my tires were kicking up the fresh asphalt. Took a quick peak at the map and a road was coming up, I thought good, I can get away from their patching! Turned on it, it was a named road with a sign, but soon realized it was dirt/grass one lane only because that's where the grass was worn down. Heavily wooded area so it was gorgeous with the fall colors! Looked at my map again and it said I should connect to a road at some point and there was really no area to turn around. Three miles later I came to a dirt road that was visibly wide enough for two lanes, lol! Took a left there and about another mile or two I came to a paved road again! I think maybe next week I'll take a drive about 30 miles west of there. Then in October, planning on roaming around southwest Wisconsin! 🍁🍂
I recently got lost following my cars directions! I thought to myself, i would just stop at the gas station & purchase a state map. I was shocked they no longer sell such a thing!😂😂😂 I got out of the mess & found my way out & then back on track, but of course was a scenic view!! I still couldn’t get over not being able to find a paper map anywhere!!😂😂😂
Showing my age here!😂❤❤
I loved going down roads just to see what’s there, reading maps and picking the scenic route!
Love the horses, so beautiful!
I love turning the sat nav off when I'm close to my destination so I can "get lost" 😂❤❤
