I’ve been working with PPL Motorhomes for…well, for quite a long time now, and the stories that I remember the most from our customers are the one’s that involve going somewhere new. You see, taking the unbeaten path has the potential to add a lot of fond memories. For the sake of argument, I’m going to assume that almost everyone reading this post has read, or heard “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. If you can’t remember all the way back to High School, it’s the one that ends:
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
Let me first state that this is not an English lesson, or even a life lesson; it’s an RV lesson. Essentially, taken literally and in a language we can all understand, when the traveler in the poem comes upon a fork in the road he chose the unbeaten path. Why? The unfamiliar road was a detour where he could potentially find an entirely new world of sights, sounds and opportunities.
Vacationing? Remember, it’s not where you are going and fast you get there, but where you are going and HOW you get there. Some of my fondest traveling memories started as nothing more as just a fork in the road.
As I said above, at PPL Motorhomes, when we hear stories of new adventures, well, we just can’t help to feel like we were right there with them, as we too know what it feels like to take the roads less traveled. Can anyone share some good stories about taking the road less traveled?
