The Middle of the Road

April 26, 2018April 27, 2018Posted in Photography, Road Trip, RVing, WildlifeTagged lines, Weekly Photo Challenge12 Comments

Whether it’s towing our fifth wheel to get to our next campground or taking a scenic drive after setting up camp, we spend a lot of time in our truck when we are wandering around the U.S. and Canada. While Henry drives, my time is often spent looking through the windshield of our truck at the lines in the middle of the road .
