Setting the GPS to "Avoid Freeways," I drove from my mother's house in Michigan (the day after her 85th birthday) to North Dakota to my home in Georgia. The biggest thrill of this trip was setting foot in the last of the lower 48 states I have visited. Every 50 Miles is visual documentation of every 50th mile along my journey.
