See the USA in a Chevrolet


Probably only a few baby boomers will remember the old Chevrolet TV ads that were gracing our homes back in the 70s.  But it was a time that we were out checking out different parts of the country and driving the big block cars all the way.  Sure there were gas problems you could see the long lines in some states.
Today people are still moving and pursuing the freedom that your car would take you.  Some are moving to different Location either out of necessity of a new job opportunity or they are retiring and looking for that special place. 
Whatever the scenario Things are not the same as they were two or three decades ago.  Now you can scope out almost any place that you would like to explore by using Google maps and earth.  You can actually view the trees on some of the forest land. 
Moving to a new city or state used to be kind of a wonderment of the not knowing.  Take for instance enrolling your kids in a new school, now you can get instant school statistics to determine the area you are looking to buy a home.  The neighborhood safety data is also available.  Relocation and moving to a new area or completely different part of the country is somewhat easier now days.  The only problem seen is that a virtual move is still a guessing game with lots of factors. 
So take the old car out and travel throughout Idaho or surrounding states. There is still no better way to see the USA!
