My fantasy route was in 2014. We had relatives and friends in almost every overnight town who were gracious hosts. My town was an overnight town. We also had several of farmsteads along the route to stop off and say hello. It was purely coincidental I guess. We were so wrapped up in family and friends and relatives along the way the week was a bit of a blur, which I may add was just fine. We were planning a big time in our home town going uptown for entertainment, dancing and beers (not bears) and such but instead, stuck around our house and entertained the teams and relatives we were hosting. Simply put, the week was a full schedule with time issues instead of our usual Que Sera, Sera.
Be careful what you wish for!
