Carolina Poet, Photo's and Notes: I am a nc wanderer

Welcome

Welcome to my blog...as a beginner i am enjoying what all i can do, explore, create, and share.....born and raised and based in the greatest state... North Carolina..I love we have it all... the mountains, the piedmont, the sand hills and the coast. I love we have the four seasons...and I try and enjoy each with gusto...

One of my favorite carolina times is I love to ride my bike ...love the morning ride and talking about what it means...and have been doing so so so early... mostly leaving by 6 :30 am...most morning....otherwise..I do love sharing my photo's...enjoy!!!

Another one of my most favorite carolina times is I also love to travel...well actually exploring this great state.... mostly spur of the moment and trying out new experiences such as foods, wines, friendships, cultures, music, whether I'm in new cities, towns, villages, remote areas, or major cities, small towns ...I call them "drive arounds"....

In my 52 years have also traveled the USA and visited or vacationed in 39 of the states including Alaska and Hawaii. In 2000 I marked the millinium for the kids by buying a RV and traveling for 35 days 19 states and 8900 miles. We started in Wilmington NC and went east to St. Louis and then followed the Lewis and Clark trail and then north to Puguet Sound down the west coast all the way to Barstow CA and then back to NC via Grand Canyon and all point inbetween...

I have traveled to Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, the UK, Scotland, Ireland, England, Holland, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Indonesia, Spain, Italy, and still planning...

I also love to just take notes as i call them .... thus these written blogs...mostly to pass on to my kids at some point...my life stories and my lessons as well as thoughts, poems, and just plain notes...

I am a nc wanderer

I am a nc wanderer
always looking for someplace new

loving my truck as it's got 220K miles on it

I turn up the music loud

....on the road again....

just now rolling down hwy 49 from charlotte

can't you just see

drifting around the bend

wandering with a bike on back

and a canoe on top

revving up the motor as I glide by those fences
up and down those rolling hills

where's that elusive hwy 12
OBX sand and 4X4 driving
looking a those awesome scenes

....on the road again....
running that Interstate I-40/85 late nights
changing the song on the radio
looking at those small town sights
in between all those country roads

....on the road again....
slowing down to please the policeman
looking for some post office blues
honking in that big city traffic
highrise buildings and oneway streets

malls and big ass parking lot's
left turns before right turns
stops signs and stop lights
rainy days and afternoons
....on the road again...
gas on back up & wash those windows
Crossing old railroad tracks
