 Original Post: This was my original Introduction page for my website in early 2016.
Welcome To Stories From The Road Les Traveled This website was inspired by my wacky idea to visit every state in the continental USA in two separate routes over the course of five months. It was further motivated by my desire to spotlight some encouraging stories and amazing faces and places I experienced along the way - and along the road of life. To help you navigate your way, here’s some quick links below and some of the ways you can Join me. And if I don’t say it often enough, thanks for coming along for the ride!

Amen.” Update 2017: As can see by my original Introduction page and by the first 10 Chapters that follow, I had pretty lofty goals for the journey I was preparing to take. And as you will see in the last 10 chapters written after my return, I achieved a quite a few, dropped the ball on many and learned a whole lot in the process. Speaking of the later, it wasn’t until my trip was over that I learned that I should have said I am going to drive to all the "Contiguous" states instead of all the "Continental" states because Alaska is on the North American continent. Oh well. Live, travel and learn, right? :-) Cover Contents Books Home Hire Stories Comments are closed.
