    Can you blame him for taking the scenic route on such a nice day?

    OP: Your school didn't take you on road trips in crowded cities?

    Been driving nearly two years here and I still get nervous whenever I drive through tiny towns or downtown in big cities.

    Camping?! Man come on...

    You really want to do it the way everyone else does and go camping on your reset?

    Why be like everyone else?

    Or even try skiing.

    I'm just waiting until I get routed to Cali so I can deep sea dive my way to hawaii. Figure I got a few sick days to save up on...
