    The best advise that I could give any rookie just getting into this industry is slow down and make sure that all the sites that you will see around this great nation are not missed. After many years of being in a rush to get from point A to point B I have slowed and will take the time to enjoy some of the sites out there and enjoy the beauty of the country and get paid for it when I get there. And remember you actually never late until you get there. Enjoy the road don't miss it.

    Great post. This can go for 4-wheelers too.

    Google Earth on your laptop can be an excellent pre trip planner as for extra curricular activities. Also national geographic website.
