Two things...
The missus is learning slide currently.
I know where Bodcaw is. I've been there when I was on a drunken rampage around the country. More specifically, I was on my way to the post office in Stamps. I figured it'd be funny to buy stamps in Stamps.
Spoiler alert: It was funny as all fuck. At least it was to me.
I've purchased stamps in Stamps as well. I worked at a furniture factory there one summer. That factory eventually moved to Mexico and took a lot of the local economy with it.
Fwiw, Waldo is about 10 miles east of Stamps. So if anyone wants to know "Where's Waldo?"...
Yeah, we have a lot of Waldo things in the US - like Waldo County here in Maine.
I was up in West Alma (as memory serves) looking for spinach when I saw 'Stamps' on the atlas I had with me (a good road atlas, never leave home without one - unless, you know, you're not going very far). So, I meandered down there just to buy stamps.
I was mostly driving around the country at random, inasmuch as we humans can be random (which isn't very random).
But, I'd get bored of one place, hop on the interstate, cross state lines - whichever was next, go a few exits into the state, and then get off the freeway and onto the secondary roads. I spent most of my trip on those types of roads, for this one particular jaunt.
