My recent trip from Durham, N.C. to Indianapolis, IN. I was observing the beauty of America, once again. The mountains and the valleys are remarkable. I never tire of seeing the wonders of our country, and never forget those who have made it possible to enjoy the freedom that we have. Driving this new Cascadia makes it even more enjoyable.
