Well, I’m finally off and running once again. The Truck is ready for a real test and that’s exactly what I’m prepared to do. I left the house early this morning not having a clue where I wanted to go. I did want to cover the new bypass highway from beginning to end so why not start there. I understand it’s going to save a tremendous amount of time not having to go through the Capitol and all of its traffic. It did! I loved the ease in traveling and the wide roads on this bypass. I finally decided to head out towards Bani. Once there I pulled over and enjoyed a coffee while looking at my map program. I was thinking hey, I never explored the desert areas surrounding Palmar de Ocoa. It was decided that’s my first stop. Buckle up.
