ROAD TRIPPING 120M- FULL Topic

In the 20th century, the United States Congress began funding roadways through the Federal Aid Road Act of 1916 ,and started an effort to construct a national road grid with the passage of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1921 .In 1926, the United States Numbered Highway System was established, creating the first national road numbering system for cross-country travel. The roads were funded and maintained by U.S. states ,and there were few national standards for road design. United States Numbered Highways ranged from two-lane country roads to multi-lane freeways. After Dwight D. Eisenhower became president in 1953, his administration developed a proposal for an interstate highway system, eventually resulting in the enactment of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956.
Enough of the history lesson- welcome to ON THE ROAD AGAIN- ROAD TRIPPING LEAGUE. This is the first of what will be multiple seasons of this league. You need only commit one season at a time. There are 29 choices, so obviously all will not be used.

Thanks for starting us off!!

Well I'm going out west where I belong
Where the days are short and the nights are long
And I'll walk
And they'll walk
And I'll twist
And they'll twist
And I'll shimmy
And they'll shimmy
And I'll fly
And they'll fly……

Good to have you


Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound
It's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power big
Fat tires and everything…

Rev ‘er up!!

All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads…

Cruise on in here!

I'm in an island state of mind
Don't think I'm ever gonna leave
I'd rather stay and watch the waves
Move the sand beneath my feet
Reggae on the radio, laying low and feeling high
Easy living down in paradise….
