You may have heard of leaf peepers jamaica negril photos andnot travel guide hotel (those who take pleasure jamaica negril photos andnot travel guide hotel in viewing fall foliage) or pie riders (those in search of the perfect slice of homemade pie), but we are shunpikers (those who prefer to meander on the backroads). In every season of the year and for thousands of miles each year, we take to the backroads.
Sometimes, when Joann and I finally make it to our motel during our photography trips, we look for something relaxing to watch on TV while we make our dinner and unload the day s photos. Sometimes we re lucky and we stumble on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour shows with Jeff Foxworthy. His You Might Be a Redneck jokes always make us laugh. Sometimes we remember jamaica negril photos andnot travel guide hotel something from our past or maybe something a relative has done comes to mind. And often we re reminded jamaica negril photos andnot travel guide hotel of scenes we ve seen along the backroads.
We often joke with our brother-in-law about being a redneck. Maybe he invites it by wearing shirts that say things like PETA People for the Eating of Tasty Animals. Whatever the case, we always get a laugh out of it and he laughs right along with us.
Since 1992, we have traveled over 50,000 miles on the backroads of this great country to capture the rural heart of America. As often as we can, we hit the backroads together, with Ruth navigating and Joann photographing. It takes both of our talents to capture jamaica negril photos andnot travel guide hotel the rural scenes and bring them to you. That s what it s all about sharing our backroads adventures in photos and words. We hope you enjoy them.
