That's an intriguing list! I admire your having driven from one end of your country to another - that must have been some journey!
Thank you for the mention of Dolores Huerta - I've just spent about ten minutes reading about her. Fascinating stuff. Interesting list and agreeing with Alexa - driving across the US is a lot further than across the UK.
I agree with the previous comments....I've never even driven across my [fairly small] country.
Out of all of your accomplishments (and there are many!) I think the one I like the most has to be the learning to tap dance. That's one of TSO's big ambitions in life
A great list, off to create my own :)
You have done so many more things on that list than I have! I've saved the list but will have to make some changes just to be able to highlight much of anything.
What a lot off accomplishments....

What a wonderful list Rinda.
It's a fascinating list. Driving across country was on my bucket list, and it was one of the best trips ever! I'd do it again in a heartbeat, though I'd take a different route.
wow... my list is sorely lacking :(

Super list! You have dome lots of crazy things! Perhaps it should be my 49 Before 49, which will be this August. I had better get busy! Really impressed you have done the lengthnof the USA on a road trip!
Wow - you sure made a dent in that list. Of the ones you haven't done, I've sent a message in a bottle (but never received a reply!).
