1/23/2024 0 Comments Ive been everywhereI’ll link rather than embed since you will probably need to zoom in:Īs you can see, the locales are mostly located in the US (76 of the 93). To go everywhere, man! Let’s take a look at the maps. I do know that total mechanical failure remains a possibility so I have budgeted for a second bike (don’t tell Annie). Furthermore, the undersquare engine should be better suited to high mileage than some of its short-stroke compatriots. That said, it has given me the opportunity to practice all of the maintenance procedures multiple times. She currently sits with a touch over 20k on the clock, which is maybe a little higher than I would prefer at the outset. Has there ever been another vehicle produced that gets 60+ mpg, goes 110+ mph and starts under $8k? If money were no object, I’d probably be riding something more “advanced”, but this bike is a great compromise. I’ve never fallen in love with the look of it or the “feel” of it, but I am head over heels for its functionality. Her namesake is Annie Taylor, the first person to survive Niagara Falls in a barrell. But let me tell you about my love, Annie.Īnnie and me by Lake Ontario.with a terribly improvised luggage solution.Īs she currently sits, just a few days before departure. That’s about all you need to know about me for now. The second is entirely selfish: There is a crap-ton of incredible knowledge among the community here and I would like to tap into this knowledge base to assist me in my journey. The first one is at least somewhat altruistic: I want to give back to this community which has been the source of much entertainment and insight through the years. My desire to post here has two major motivations. It’s just my nature to not speak until I feel I can add to the conversation. I’ve followed many journeys on this site, but have never really contributed. I guess I’d have to describe myself as an ADVrider lurker. My tentative route has me covering 49 states, 19 countries and around 40k miles. I’ve been planning this trip for a couple years and in a few days I embark on the journey of a lifetime. Both Johnny Cash and Hank Snow were lying to us! Though I’ve scoured the internet, I can find no evidence that anyone has actually visited all 93. The locations are spread out over two continents and some are difficult to reach. I remember listening to this song years ago, thinking, “Well it can’t be that hard to go to all of those places, can it?” Turns out it’s pretty hard. It lists 93 places that the narrator has been to in four rapid fire verses. Invite participants to bring photos of favorite trips.“I’ve been to Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota.” ![]() Movement: You can do rhythmic movement to this song, like leg extensions or toe/heel tapping. Mark all the places the members in your group have been and count the total number of places everyone has traveled to. Musical Engagement: A dd a rumble at the start of the song and shake on a steady beat or clap your hands along with the song. Other complementary songs may include “ On The Road Again ,” “ Sentimental Journey ,” and “ Roam. Encourage the group to reminisce by sharing their favorite travel memories and combine this tune with other songs about travel to continue the fun. ![]() Theme – Travel: This song would fit well into a travel theme. It can be used as a transition into reminiscence about past vacations, as an opportunity for musical engagement on instruments or singing, and would be a great ending song after playing music together. This is a great song to use within a group where the topic is traveling or with people who have an extensive history of traveling. He asked me if I’d seen a road with so much dust and sandĪnd I said, “Listen, I’ve traveled every road in this here land” “If you’re goin’ to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride”Īnd so I climbed into the cab, and then I settled down inside When along came a semi with a high an’ canvas-covered load ![]() I was totin’ my pack along the dusty Winnemucca road In the United States, the tune has been recorded by many artists, and in 1996 Johnny Cash recorded the wordy tune that captures 92 places in just a few minutes. In Australia, Lucky Starr popularized the song, while in the U.S., Hank Snow brought it to country music listeners in 1962. It was adapted several times by other songwriters to fit the names of other regions like Britain and New Zealand, but Mack himself wrote the North American lyrics using a North American atlas that was given to him by Hank Snow’s publisher. In 1959, an Australian songwriter named Geoff Mack wrote this tune to highlight many Australian towns. This song is also a great start to dreaming up all of the places you could possibly go. Here’s a great song to celebrate travel, at any time of year.
